World Monitor Dashboard

What It Does

500+ curated news feeds across 15 categories, AI-synthesized into briefs
Dual map engine — 3D globe (globe.gl) and WebGL flat map (deck.gl) with 56 map layer types
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
6 site variants from a single codebase (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy, energy)
Native desktop app (Tauri 2) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
24 languages with native-language feeds and RTL support

For the full feature list, architecture, data sources, and algorithms, see the documentation.

Support Status

All site variants and desktop binaries are built from a single codebase and ship from the same release process. The table below clarifies maintenance status so you know which surfaces are safe to depend on.

Surface	Status	Notes
`worldmonitor.app`, `tech.`, `finance.`, `commodity.`, `happy.`, `energy.`	Stable	Public deployments built from this repo, actively maintained
Desktop binaries (Windows / macOS Apple Silicon / macOS Intel / Linux AppImage)	Stable	One Tauri binary that switches variants in-app; current CI release targets are `full` and `tech`

Issues filed against any of the above are triaged from the same backlog — see the issues board for currently-open work.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git
cd worldmonitor
npm install
npm run dev

Open localhost:5173. The app runs with no environment variables.

Feature-specific data sources may require credentials — for example, the flight-price command (fly LON DXB) needs TRAVELPAYOUTS_API_TOKEN to return live quotes; without it the command shows a “credentials required” message rather than synthetic data. See .env.example for the full list.

For variant-specific development:

npm run dev:tech       # tech.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:finance    # finance.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:commodity  # commodity.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:happy      # happy.worldmonitor.app

See the self-hosting guide for deployment options (Vercel, Docker, static).
