War Library.
Built to replace fear with understanding: a live, open-source interactive library tracking the 2026 Middle East conflict with verified events, source attribution, and real humanitarian aid links.
When the conflict escalated, the information environment got worse faster than the situation did — rumor outran reporting, and doomscrolling replaced comprehension. War Library was the response: from idea to live deployment in 8 hours, tracking verified events with source attribution so people could see what was actually known versus claimed.
What it does
The library tracks 24,615 verified events across 169 countries, drawing on 18 monitored news sources, each event carrying its attribution. An AI-powered Q&A layer answers questions against the event corpus rather than vibes. And because understanding should lead somewhere, the site surfaces verified humanitarian aid links — vetted ways to actually help.
The engineering
Next.js 16 with Mapbox GL for the interactive geography, backed by an automated event-ingestion pipeline and 129 automated tests. Days after launch it was serving 7 languages including right-to-left Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi. The codebase went through an audit sweep of 8 parallel AI agents that produced 179 verified fixes — dogfooding the same AI-assisted engineering discipline I sell.
MIT licensed and open source, because civic infrastructure shouldn't have a landlord.
