!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 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
• 25 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 (override the port with DEV_PORT in .env.local). The app runs with no environment variables.

Feature-specific data sources may require credentials. 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).

Tech Stack

| Category | Technologies |
|----------|-------------|
| Frontend | Vanilla TypeScript, Vite, globe.gl + Three.js, deck.gl + MapLibre GL |
| Desktop | Tauri 2 (Rust) with Node.js sidecar |
| AI/ML | Ollama / Groq / OpenRouter, Transformers.js (browser-side) |
| API Contracts | Protocol Buffers (284 protos, 35 services), sebuf HTTP annotations |
| Deployment | Vercel Edge Functions (60+), Railway relay, Tauri, PWA |
| Caching | Redis (Upstash), 3-tier cache, CDN, service worker |

Programmatic Access

World Monitor is built for agents and scripts as well as browsers:

• MCP server — https://worldmonitor.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Public tools/list; tools/call authenticates with a X-WorldMonitor-Key header or OAuth.
• REST API — base https://api.worldmonitor.app, described by the OpenAPI spec.
• CLI — the official <code class="ra0-md-code">worldmonitor</code> npm package (source in <code class="ra0-md-code">cli/</code>):

  npx worldmonitor tools          # run ad-hoc — list every MCP tool (no key needed)
  npm install -g worldmonitor     # or install the `worldmonitor` (alias `wm`) command
  worldmonitor risk IR --api-key wm_xxx

• SDKs — official zero-dependency client libraries mirroring the CLI: Python <code class="ra0-md-code">worldmonitor-sdk</code> (source in <code class="ra0-md-code">sdk/python/</code>), Ruby <code class="ra0-md-code">worldmonitor</code> (<code class="ra0-md-code">sdk/ruby/</code>), Go <code class="ra0-md-code">github.com/koala73/worldmonitor/sdk/go</code> (<code class="ra0-md-code">sdk/go/</code>). Guide: worldmonitor.app/docs/sdks.

Agent discovery files: <code class="ra0-md-code">llms.txt</code> · agent-skills manifest · api-catalog. Get an API key at worldmonitor.app/pro.
