Our World in Data

World Monitor is an open-source global intelligence dashboard developed in the koala73/worldmonitor project. It aggregates curated global and regional news, geopolitical information, infrastructure signals, and financial data into a unified situational-awareness interface, producing AI-synthesized briefs and tracking military, economic, disaster, and escalation signals. The application provides both a 3D globe and a WebGL flat map using a shared map-layer catalog, a server-authoritative Country Instability Index, and finance views for stock exchanges, commodities, crypto, and composite market signals. It supports local AI through Ollama without API keys, as well as other documented AI providers, and exposes an MCP server for programmatic access by agents and scripts. The repository supports multiple site variants from one codebase, including world, tech, finance, commodity, energy, and happy views. It also distributes a Tauri desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and documents self-hosting through Vercel, Docker, or static deployment.
