Ask HN: What information about the war do you care about?

Hi HN,

I've been unable to find a good all-in-one tool/dashboard that tracks the effects of the war (current map, economic impacts, the refugee crisis, up-to-date news stories, photo gallery, etc). I started building ukrainedashboard.com to solve this (currently an MVP).

Mostly looking for feedback on what I should add to this: what kind of information regarding the war that you wish was easier to find/keep track of? For reference, I'm in the US.

Thanks!

Maybe this is super cynical by me, but by far the most relevant thing I would want to know is any escalation involving NATO. I suppose I'd figure out soon enough though, through air alarms going off in my west European neighborhood. The rest is just voyeurism.

Why the nuclear power plants don't have labels with their names?

That map was taken directly from axios (https://www.axios.com/russia-ukraine-invasion-putin-live-upd...). I don't love the map, as it's not super detailed - for sure looking to replace it with something better!

I'd love to see an interactive timeline map based on the ISW daily assessments.

Edit: just looked, and this is the source used for the axios map, but axios is less detailed

Wow ISW is a great resource, thanks for sharing! Really interested in doing something like that, I'm a big map/timeline fan.
