Two months of running Hormuz Monitor — what should I improve next?
Hormuz Monitor has been live for about two months, and I’m now bringing it to Product Hunt after discovering the community a bit late.
I originally built it because information about the Strait of Hormuz was scattered across vessel tracking services, oil markets, financial data, news reports, and political statements. The dashboard brings those signals together in one place, including vessel traffic, oil prices, market indicators, geopolitical events, Trump social posts, AI-generated situation summaries, and a proprietary Hormuz Risk Index.
The timing is not perfect. Some people may wonder why a Strait of Hormuz dashboard is being shared after the most intense phase of the crisis. But I think the value is not only in tracking the start of a conflict. It is also useful for watching what happens after headlines fade: whether vessel traffic normalizes, whether energy markets remain sensitive, and whether geopolitical risk actually declines.
After operating the service for two months, I’d especially value feedback on:
• Which data or indicators are most useful
• Whether the dashboard is easy to understand
• Whether the risk index and AI summary provide useful context
The service is free, bilingual in English and Korean, and open source.
