Love it! Very easy to setup. Took me less than 60 seconds to create a website from my Twitter and Instagram accounts. Here is the site I just created: https://swite.com/janm@jacopom FYI somehow Italian was set as my default language.
@janahrend Great video and very nice swite.
Sorry about the Italian - It should be based on your browsers language, with English as a default. I'll look into it.
For the language settings, there is a general setting for the account within the dashboard that can control the sidebar, emails you receive, etc. Each site then has its own, independent language setting so that you can have different sites in different languages (right now, just English and Italian).
This looks great. How does it hand duplicate posts? For example, I typically post to Facebook first and auto post to Twitter, but sometimes I post only to Twitter. Other times I post on Instagram and also to Facebook which is automatically posted to Twitter too.
Assuming I had all three sites linked to Swite, would I then have duplicate posts on my site?
@frassmith Hi Fraser.
For anything that has happened in the past and has already been uploaded, you can go into the "Content Management" section, sort by the social network, and "hide" any duplicates (or other posts, videos, etc that you don't want to display on your site). You can also "hide" content directly in the Site Editor, which is convenient on tablets and smartphones.
To avoid duplicates in the future, you can set the rules for what will be automatically displayed on your swite on the "Social Networks" page. So if Facebook is your main social network, set Facebook to be displayed automatically, but Twitter to be hidden. The content from Twitter will then be imported and will wait in the Content Manager so you can display that odd Tweet that is not synced across social networks.

@jarrodfath Thanks for the clarification. I've now set up a site, and I can understand better. Thinking further ahead, are the fees per site or per account? For example, if I had a paying account, with my own domain, could I then have multiple sites under that domain?
@frassmith Swite is a "Freemium" product, and you can have multiple free site and multiple paid sites at the same time.
It is not possible to have multiple sites under one domain, but it is possible to have multiple domains that direct to one site.
@tsunaze Thanks! Importing from Youtube is our next release, hopefully next week. And yes, we plan on adding a lot more platforms and also new ways to mix the content ;)

This is really cool. The market is huge for this one, this is literally the answer to "can't you just make a website about me real quick?". Great job.
Is there an option do download the code for a website and/or move it to another domain? Do you plan to add it?
@di_ry Hi Igor. You can associate a domain that you already have with our Plus service, and buy a domain with Premium. Buying a domain with Swite is even easier than the registration and site creation - You don't even need to know what a DNS is.
Downloading the code and embedding in another website is not currently on the roadmap, but we have thought about it and would love to hear from the Product Hunt community.
Just created Swite account connecting my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. I guess my Instagram persona, Twitter persona and Facebook persona are all different. Interested to see mixing them up all together. Maybe good for self branding but I am not sure yet. Will figure out after using Swite for a while :)
@kzynakamura We've seen that a lot of people use different social networks for different reasons, which is why it's possible to have multiple swites.
With Facebook Pages, you can create as many sites as you have Pages. For Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and Facebook Profiles, it is currently possible to connect only one account, but connecting multiple accounts and more combinations (such as connecting Twitter with a Facebook Page, which unfortunately is not currently possible) are coming soon.

Interesting concept. How does it handle cross posting (ie. say I'm posting the same content or photos across FB, TW and IG)?
We are really excited to share Swite.com with the Product Hunt community.
Swite creates a website that is synchronized with the rest of your online presence by importing the posts, photos and videos from your social networks and updating itself when you post something new.
Having a website is becoming more and more important to showcase what you do and the level of professionalism with which you do it.
Any non-techie who has tried to create a website knows that there are the technical and design barriers, which are normally resolved by hiring an expensive consultant, and there is the creation of all the content and then the difficulty of keeping it up to date.
Swite simplifies everything by building itself around the content that is posted every day on social networks.
Try it out and tell us what you like and what you’d like for us to add.
