With everything happening between the US and Iran, World Monitor by
@eliehabib is worth knowing about. It's an open source intelligence dashboard with a 3D globe, 36 data layers, and 150 news feeds that you can run locally. Think of it as a free, self-hosted alternative to expensive OSINT platforms.
> 36 toggleable map layers including military bases, conflicts, naval vessels, satellite fire detection, protests, and infrastructure targets
> AI-powered focal point detection that correlates across news, military activity, protests, and outages to identify convergence zones automatically
> Country instability index generates real-time risk scores using a weighted blend of protest data, conflicts, displacement, outages, and climate anomalies
> Temporal anomaly detection flags deviations like "military flights 3.2x normal for Thursday" using a 90-day rolling baseline
> 8 live video streams (Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, Sky News, CNBC, etc.) embedded directly in the dashboard
> Runs AI summarization locally through Ollama with no API keys and no data leaving your machine
> 4 variants from one codebase: geopolitics, tech, finance, and a "happy news" version
> 100% free and open source, runs as a native desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux
