Window Seat turns a screen into a train window. The curtains open on an hour-long journey that is generated and rendered live as you ride, so it never repeats. Everything here is free to use in coverage of the app.

About
The curtains part on a train window, and the journey begins: through Japan, the Alps, the Italian Riviera and the Colorado Rockies. It isn't video. Every journey is built as the train moves, a stretch of track at a time, and every house, temple and chalet is drawn by code as it's placed, so leave it running all day and you won't see the same hour twice. The weather and the time of day change over the hour, and small things happen along the way.
Window Seat was built by one developer with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code). No image or video models are used: the world is drawn by code. How a chalet is drawn shows one building next to the code that draws it.
