WorldPulse
The world, as it happens.
WorldPulse watches the world in real time. It pulls in news and open data from hundreds of sources, checks every story against a second outlet, and puts what matters on one live map.
A spinning globe showing how many news signals WorldPulse has counted in each country over the last 24 hours. Bigger, warmer circles mean more signals.

The story
The story
News moves faster than anyone can check it. The same event turns up in a hundred places, half-confirmed and half-repeated, and the signal that matters is easy to miss.
Devon’s career is in international business, shipping and logistics, where a strike, a storm or a border dispute on the other side of the world lands on someone’s desk by morning. WorldPulse is the tool he wanted: one place to see what’s happening, where it’s happening, and how sure anyone can be about it.
At its heart is a simple question: how many independent newsrooms reported this, and which ones? WorldPulse answers it for every story. Sources are ranked by trust, from the big wire services down to community reports, each story gets a reliability score, and known AI content farms are flagged so they can’t pass for news.
And it’s more than a map. Around the live map sit a daily briefing, a weekly roundup, alerts, country-by-country intel and a knowledge graph that links the countries, organizations and topics in the news. Dedicated desks follow markets, shipping, sanctions, cyber threats, internet outages, undersea cables, and food and water security. For developers, there’s a free API, RSS feeds and a direct connection for AI assistants.
It’s open source under the MIT license, so anyone can see exactly how it works, question its methods or build on it.
