    iOS app that plots news events geographically instead of curating them into a feed.

    Uses EventRegistry API (~150k sources), geocodes locations, displays on MapKit. Filter by region/category/language. No algorithm deciding what you should see — just events placed where they happened.

    Built with SwiftUI. Offline caching. Fuzzy search with Levenshtein distance.

    Main limitation: source bias still exists at the aggregator level (more Western coverage). But at least the app layer isn't adding another filter on top.

    Feedback welcome. Is this useful or just a novelty?
