World Monitor is a real-time global intelligence dashboard that aggregates news, geopolitical data, financial markets, and infrastructure signals into one unified platform.
It is designed to provide situational awareness by combining multiple data streams such as:
News and media feeds
Military and aviation tracking
Economic and financial data
Disaster and infrastructure monitoring
All of this is processed and summarized using AI to help users quickly understand global developments.
What It Does
435+ curated news feeds across 15 categories, AI-synthesized into briefs
Dual map engine — 3D globe (globe.gl) and WebGL flat map (deck.gl) with 45 data layers
Cross-stream correlation — military, economic, disaster, and escalation signal convergence
Country Intelligence Index — composite risk scoring across 12 signal categories
Finance radar — 92 stock exchanges, commodities, crypto, and 7-signal market composite
Local AI — run everything with Ollama, no API keys required
5 site variants from a single codebase (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy)
Native desktop app (Tauri 2) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
21 languages with native-language feeds and RTL support
