What is this?
World Monitor is a real-time global intelligence dashboard that aggregates and AI-synthesizes news, geopolitical signals, and infrastructure data into one situational-awareness interface.
World Monitor is a real-time global intelligence dashboard that aggregates and AI-synthesizes news, geopolitical signals, and infrastructure data into one situational-awareness interface.Is this a web dashboard or a desktop app?Both — it runs as a web dashboard with multiple site variants (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy, energy) and also ships as a native desktop app built with Tauri 2 for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
