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 Instability Index (CII) — server-authoritative CII v8 stress scoring for 31 Tier-1 countries
• Finance radar — 29 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:3000. 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
npm run dev:energy     # energy.worldmonitor.app

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