Needle - An explorable map of the news

Needle is an explorable map of the news. Every hour, stories from a variety of sources are placed on the map in the locations where they are most relevant, so you can see what's happening in places you care about.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ryder! I've launched a few of my creative web projects here in the past, and wanted to share a weekend build of mine that I've been playing around with quite a bit. It's called Needle: a real-time explorable map of the news 🗺️ It pulls in local stories from across Canada (and soon more places), uses an LLM to geolocate them, and pins them to a live map. Stories disappear after 24 hours, so it’s like a snapshot of what’s happening right now. Curious what you think! Open to ideas on how to make it better, more useful, or weirder. 🧵 Happy to answer any questions!
