OVERWATCH: real-time Iran conflict command center
Thread205 words
Single-screen dashboard with 1,000+ news articles, 91 API connections, an OSINT theater map, BTC, ETH and gold tickers and Grok SITREP briefings, built largely autonomously with Perplexity Computer as a side experiment.
The Middle East is on fire.
Operation Epic Fury is live. Iran, Israel, the US. Missiles in the air, ships sinking in the Gulf, casualties, and even attacks on cities like Dubai.
Yet, information is moving faster than any single feed can track.
So I built OVERWATCH, a real-time command center:
→ 1,000+ live news articles
→ 100s of tweets curated in real-time
→ 91 API connections
→ OSINT theater-of-operations map
→ BTC, ETH, Gold tickers
→ Live Al Jazeera broadcast
→ Grok SITREP briefings
All from one screen.
The wildest part tho?
This entire dashboard was built with @perplexity_ai Computer.
I'd prompt it once in a while, walk away, and it autonomously handled the rest, from data integration, UI to live feeds, everything.
We're entering an era where a single person with the right AI tools has more situational awareness than entire newsrooms.
Can give it a try using link below, but be aware that it might take time to load or might crash as it rly was/is just a smol vibecoding side mission experiment lol.

Heard mobile version needs work, never actually checked how it looks there bc i did the whole thing on laptop.
But will refine
