**Real-time global intelligence dashboard** — AI-powered news aggregation, geopolitical monitoring, and infrastructure tracking in a unified situational awareness interface.

**Releases**

**Contributing****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**.

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](https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/issues) for currently-open work.

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

Open [localhost:3000](http://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).
