This is a very cool idea!

Do you have a plan to address under reporting foreign news? A lot of details and nuanced reporting done locally never makes it to mainstream Western media.

Perhaps you could somehow integrate at least the English-speaking local news sites into this?

Either way, looks great. lots of potential here

This is dope

it reminds me of the news channel on the Nintendo Wii

idk why other news sites havent done this, its so nice to see where things happen. I only wish there was a headlines list and when you click on them the map navigates to the location.

Maps of India is not correct, also not showing tibet as a country

OP, why is certain section of India marked in red?

Huh! I always build simultaneously since I know it’s going to be a lot of tech debt.

Marvelous. Good job op , that extremely interesting. I feel we are going to see paterns with france or US for example. Sadly for tragically different purpose.

I find it unexpected and annoying that clicking on an item zooms the map to that location. Perhaps it would be a useful feature if there were hundreds of events, but now it just means I have to zoom out to look at the next. Got old after like 2 clicks, otherwise would have looked at them all.

Cool idea otherwise!

How do you choose what to publish?

This is really nice. You should sell it to some media house, they all have such shitty websites.

Well, this is a bloody clever idea. I wish I had thought of it. :)

With time and more contributions, this could be really useful.

About the sources. Some of those listed are not political. It just seems like it's taking random death counters and info and putting it all down. Ok, a building collapsed due to water leaking? A stadium had a stampede? A lot of this is just random news stories about people dying. What's the algorithm to decide if an action is political or not? Just curious.

If this is done right, this website will be banned by a handful of countries. Best of luck.

ah, they are the pinnacle of freedom. /s

Great product, very useful, have it bookmarked.

So are you selecting the news manually?

Annnnd US have two mass shootings of total of two mass shootings across world.

missed to tag NATOs breaking their agreement with USSR in 1991, ongoing since 1992 currently in Ukraine.

Awesome! Will do!

My only worry is that with that button, you could get bots submitting articles, I don't know enough about anti-bot tech, so wouldn't have the first clue about combatting it.

Alas the world surely needs something like this site.

I thought Twitter would effectively be like this wonderful, spacious, open-source-esque platform.. sadly I was wrong!

That's nice! Please make it impossible to go to the future. The site is broken if you click searching for tomorrow's data

You also need to be able to filter ongoing conflics and new one.

Honestly this is such a great idea of how to keep up to date with world news.

Yeah I'm seriously considering this, compiling multiple news sources & accepting submissions from the public.

There's a discord link on the top right of the site, feel free to join and I'll keep you updated

Great job u/happylad32!

Would you ever think of integrating a "submit your own" type of thing? I research international news for fun (yeah, I know, I find fun in strange things) and would be totally up for submitting (equally important) pieces I've found from smaller news outlets.

Of course you'll never find a truly unbiased news source, however having one story covered by competing outlets is ground for making an informed decision of the actual facts/account of what's happened.

This is a good shout for OP.

IMHO you'd need a team of researchers constantly on different world news outlets, I'd happily take that job though. I do it daily anyway..
