In plain English

World Monitor is an open-source real-time global intelligence dashboard that aggregates news, geopolitical signals, financial data, and infrastructure information into a unified situational awareness interface. It is aimed at people who want a single place to track what is happening around the world across multiple dimensions simultaneously, rather than switching between separate news, markets, and geopolitical monitoring tools. The application aggregates over 500 curated news feeds across 15 categories and uses AI to synthesize them into brief summaries. It provides a dual-map interface with both a 3D interactive globe and a flat WebGL map, showing 45 different data layers such as military events, economic indicators, disaster tracking, and cyber incidents. It monitors 92 stock exchanges, commodities, and cryptocurrency markets. The country intelligence feature produces a composite risk score for each country across 12 signal categories. A local AI mode using Ollama lets you run all AI features without sending data to external APIs. The project ships as both a web application and native desktop apps (for Windows, macOS, and Linux) built with Tauri. You would use World Monitor if you are a researcher, journalist, analyst, or generally curious person who wants a real-time situational awareness tool that combines geopolitics, finance, news, and infrastructure tracking in one dashboard. The license allows free personal, research, and educational use, commercial use requires a separate license. The tech stack is vanilla TypeScript with Vite on the frontend, Tauri (Rust) for the desktop app, globe.gl and deck.gl for the map rendering, and support for Ollama, Groq, and OpenRouter as AI backends.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to run World Monitor locally with Ollama as the AI backend so no data leaves my machine. Walk me through installing it and configuring Ollama as the AI provider instead of an external API.

Prompt 2

How do I add a custom RSS or Atom news feed to World Monitor's feed aggregator and assign it to a specific category?

Prompt 3

Show me how to use the World Monitor country intelligence feature to get a composite risk score for a specific country and understand what each of the 12 signal categories represents.

Prompt 4

I want to build a similar real-time global news dashboard. What open-source libraries does World Monitor use for the 3D globe and WebGL map layers that I could reuse in my own project?

Prompt 5

How do I build and package World Monitor as a native desktop app for macOS using the Tauri build system?
