We all love to travel but discovering that authentic view amongst the noise of same touristic spots being recommended everywhere has always been a challenge to me. The struggle extrapolates in finding the exact spot when travelling to recreate the trip I had imagined. With Chrome extension ViewZzz Tabs, I am attempting to solve that exact problem. I dream of building a community of travellers, who love discovering and sharing the beauty around the world from anywhere, anytime on every new browser Tab.

Really a stunning product and even better photos.
How do you get the photos? Are you doing everything manually?
@jakebennett Thanks Jake. We already have a community of travellers who have contributed over few thousands of stunning views from around the world. You can also contribute via main navigation on bottom left :)

This looks like a great product!
Question: What's the difference between this and Momentum?
Keep going!
@pedro_cabaco Thanks for your nice words Pedro.
Few differences between viewZzz and Momentum:
viewZzz is a community of travelers looking for less touristic spots supporting sustainable travel and photos are contributed by the community. Momentum is about a beautiful photo per day.
viewZzz also helps in travel planning by keeping your travel list and let you identify regions in the world, which you will probably like but never thought of travelling there.
Does this answer your question?

Hi viewZzz team,
Awesome start. I installed the extension and started using it. Love the images and the fact that I can see them on the map makes them somewhat real and tangible. The world is a beautiful place :)
One feature request - I use google suite extensively at work and for personal use. That means that I have 2 accounts. Standard chrome tab let’s me switch easily between those accounts and go directly to the right inbox or google sheets account. Also, being able to go directly to the g-suite apps are handy in general, especially email. Would be great to add this or similar capability to your product. Otherwise it limits me a bit.
Kudos for a small, but cool touch with the search engines at the bottom! I never gave DuckDuckGo a chance before, now you made it quite easy :D
@sherzod_abdujabborov wow! Thanks for such a detailed feedback. I never thought that users will love the feature about switching search engines :)
I really like your idea about Google suite and will try to incorporate it in next updates.
@sherzod_abdujabborov But can't you switch your Google accounts by using top-right corner of the browser?

Amazing idea! I really like that every new browser tab displays not just a pretty image, but a potential place for future travel, and viewZzz Tabs helps to choose the best place for me. The "Guess Location" game is really great, it does not take much time, but at the same time it is very exciting and interesting. Moreover, viewZzz Tabs does not forget that it is a browser new tab - it contains useful functions: clock, bookmarks, search box, weather. Keep it up! I like it!
@new_user_191d987f0c Thanks, that's a very good idea, we will definitely plan it on the next version. :)

I love this, because I'm always keen for travel inspiration. What I currently do is screenshot images from FB / wherever online, but then it gets lost / forgotten, so the list function will really help to keep all my ideas organised :)
@jacqui_taggart Hey Jacqui, thanks for your love.
Actually collecting screenshots too in your travel list is a very good idea. We'll think about making it possible in the future.
Have you tried our "Guess spot location" game?

@rsharma Sure! Yes, but I am happy when I can just guess the country, the continent seems to big for me, and the exact spot, too small :P I would agree with the above comment that it would be nice for people who don't want to play the game to be able to hover over a map or something in the corner to see the exact location (as one of the things that really annoys me with Instagram pictures is not knowing actually where they were taken, so this would solve this!) It might also be an idea to make the test multiple choice?
@jacqui_taggart I agree. Making choices multiple choice is an excellent idea. I will discuss it with the team.
Do you have any other ideas/suggestions?

Viewzzz is awesome !
I installed the extension but to be honest I didn't keep it because I use Momentum and I'm not looking for travel every day... So I had to choose. I think it could be nice to have an option that allows the user to choose between having Viewzzz opens on new tabs or just have it as a regular chrome extension.
Great product anyways!
@mounibec Hi Mounir. Thanks for your honest and valuable feedback.
I like the idea very much to provide a possibility to deactivate viewZzz extension for some time and make it active whenever one feels to have some travel inspiration.
Do you think something like "deactivate view Zzz for x hours" will be a good alternative?
