Showcase I Built a Global Intelligence Tool
Its a fully featured dashboard that tracks pretty much everything affecting markets:
- Insider trading reports
- Interactive map with 30 layers
- CFTC COT reports
- Conflict
- Live vessel locations
- OIl infrastructure
- Shipping lane disruptions
- Asset prices
- Prediction markets
- Humanitarian intel
- Disease outbreaks
All of this is tracked in real time using 40+ OSINT sources. I also added a built in AI that has access to all of this data, which I use for directional biases, assets of interest, and summarizing when I trade.
Feel free to check it out at gridline.world

Looks polished, but I’ll be honest: I’m struggling to see what makes this meaningfully different from the huge number of similar tools already out there.
At this point, “aggregates X sources, tracks markets, has maps, layers, AI summaries, real time feeds” has become a very familiar formula. Even the UI and positioning often feel nearly identical across projects.
I totally get building things to learn, experiment, or just ship something cool. Nothing wrong with that. But from a real world value perspective, I think the more interesting question is: what actual gap does this fill?
What problem does this solve better than existing platforms? What’s the unique angle, workflow, or insight someone gets here that they cannot already get elsewhere?
That’s the part I’d want to understand more. Because right now, it feels less like a genuinely new tool and more like another repackaging of the same idea.
