I Built a Live Information Tracker Instead of Just Scrolling

During a major public protest, I noticed something frustrating.

Information was everywhere.

Reliable information was not.

People were switching between social media, news websites, and messaging apps trying to understand what was actually happening.

So I built a simple live tracker.

Not because the problem required complex AI.

But because it required clarity.

Sometimes the most impactful software isn't the one using the newest technology.

It's the one that organizes chaos.

This project reminded me that developers don't always need to invent something revolutionary.

Sometimes we simply make information easier to access.

And that alone can make a meaningful difference.

What everyday problem around you deserves a simple software solution?
