Shared Pulse
Shared Pulse is an anonymous, serverless web application that provides a global map for tracking frequencies of user-submitted events, sentiments, or phenomena. The platform allows individuals from around the world to contribute data points without revealing their identities, fostering a collective, real-time view of what is happening globally. By leveraging serverless architecture, Shared Pulse ensures scalability and low operational costs, making it accessible to a wide audience without a central infrastructure burden. The 'frequencies' tracked may refer to the occurrence rate of certain keywords, emotions, or events, which are then visualized on an interactive map, enabling users to discover patterns and trends across different regions.
