Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Tim, founder of FrontWatch (frontwatch.org). I built FrontWatch because following global conflicts today means jumping between Telegram channels, news sites, and Twitter threads — with no shared map, no structure, and no way to see the bigger picture. FrontWatch fixes that: 🗺️ One live world map with every active conflict, geolocated and severity-tagged ⚡ AI pipeline that turns raw articles & OSINT into structured events in minutes 🌍 Regional dashboards for Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia 📊 DEFCON-style escalation index, 7-day trend, and AI-generated regional forecasts 🛰️ OSINT layer pulling from vetted Telegram channels 🔔 Real-time alerts, timelines, and a curated wiki/blog for context 💎 Free for everyone — Premium adds heatmaps, CSV/GeoJSON exports, and advanced alerts for analysts & researchers This is an independent project — no investors, no agenda. Just a tool I wished existed. Would love your feedback, especially from journalists, analysts, and OSINT folks. AMA in the thread 🙌
