Support Status
All site variants and desktop binaries are built from a single codebase and ship from the same release process. The table below clarifies maintenance status so you know which surfaces are safe to depend on.
| Surface | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
worldmonitor.app, tech., finance., commodity., happy., energy. | Stable | Public deployments built from this repo, actively maintained |
| Desktop binaries (Windows / macOS Apple Silicon / macOS Intel / Linux AppImage) | Stable | One Tauri binary that switches variants in-app; current CI release targets are full and tech |
Issues filed against any of the above are triaged from the same backlog — see the issues board for currently-open work.
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor.git
cd worldmonitor
npm install
npm run dev
Open localhost:3000 (override the port with DEV_PORT in .env.local). The app runs with no environment variables.
Feature-specific data sources may require credentials. See .env.example for the full list.
For variant-specific development:
npm run dev:tech # tech.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:finance # finance.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:commodity # commodity.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:happy # happy.worldmonitor.app
npm run dev:energy # energy.worldmonitor.app
See the self-hosting guide for deployment options (Vercel, Docker, static).
