Bringing different information into a connected view
The project brings together areas such as news, weather, aviation and sport. Rather than treating each as an unrelated destination, the aim is to provide a place to explore a wider picture.
For me, the interesting work is not just adding another information source. It is deciding what belongs together, what should stay distinct, and how someone can move through the information without losing track of what they are looking at.
This connects with my broader interest in data-driven interfaces: collecting information is only part of the task. The other part is giving it a useful structure.
A project that is still evolving
WorldBeat is available as a public beta. You can visit worldbeat.live and read articles or explore the site without signing in.
I’m continuing to develop the site, its coverage and the ways readers can move between stories and places.
