Description
The Internet Compass is a visual map for exploring the internet economy. Discover the companies, people, products, platforms, communities, markets, and ideas shaping the web, and see how they connect. Instead of jumping between endless tabs and fragmented search results, explore the internet layer by layer, follow connections, and uncover interesting corners of the web. Think of it as a compass for understanding the bigger picture of the internet.

Could you build this?
Partial The directory website is a standard web application, but continuously aggregating, structuring, deduplicating, and keeping current massive cross-domain datasets (salaries, research, GitHub, companies) requires heavy data pipeline engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires a web frontend (Next.js/React) backed by search infrastructure (Elasticsearch/Typesense) and dozens of scheduled ingestion pipelines pulling and normalizing data from public APIs (GitHub, npm, PyPI, OpenAlex, arXiv) and proprietary company scrapers. The hardest part is ongoing entity resolution, automated data cleaning, and deduplication across divergent data schemas to maintain high data quality at scale.
