Eleven live panels on one screen, no alt-tab
A twelve-column grid you drag into shape, and tiles that follow each other by colour: click a country on the globe, and the feed and the radar beside it move with it.
The cockpit in action
Read the narration
- This is the cockpit in PPN World.
- Live panels, side by side on one screen: the globe, the feed, analyses, your watchlist and chat.
- Create a view of three to ten tiles, then assign an app to each slot.
- Add or close panels from the catalog.
- Each one is the real page, not a summary.
- Or apply a preset like Breaking news in one click.
- Link tiles by color, so a country clicked on the globe moves the feed.
- Then lock the layout.
The cockpit is a tileable desktop workspace. You drop panels onto a twelve-column grid, drag a header to move a tile and an edge to resize it, and the layout snaps when you let go. Five of the eleven panel types are the real route embedded whole, so the feed tile keeps the same search operators, the same reading drawer and the same watchlist as the full feed page.
It exists because watching the wire across browser tabs loses the one thing that matters: what happened on the other screen while you were reading this one. A tab you cannot see is not monitoring. Here the globe keeps pulsing beside the feed, the radar keeps counting while you read a dossier, and nothing has to be brought back into view to stay current.
It is built for the person who works the wire all day from one desk: an editor holding four beats at once, an analyst watching an issuer and its peers through an earnings season, an agency lead keeping one tile per client. If you check in twice a day from a laptop on a train, the live feed on your phone is the better surface, and the cockpit says so itself instead of rendering badly.
Eleven panel types
Globe, feed, brief, insights, watchlist, alerts, radar, dossier, markets, calendar and chat, catalogued in four groups so you add a tile by intent instead of scanning a flat list.
Twelve columns you drag
Drag a header to move a tile, an edge or the corner to resize; it snaps on release and never drops below three columns by three rows. Collapse, maximize (Esc restores), rename on double-click, close.
Colour channels A, B and C
Tag two tiles the same colour and a country clicked in one moves the others: the feed filters to it, the globe selects it, the radar re-scopes to it. The bus is the browser's own, so it crosses the panel frames and separate tabs alike.
A tile pinned to one subject
The gear scopes the tiles that can be scoped: a feed tile fixed to one query, a dossier pinned to one issuer, a globe opened on one country. A report you run becomes a monitor you keep open.
Type it, don't hunt for it
Press ` anywhere in the app and type SUBJECT then FUNCTION: AAPL DES, FRANCE WHY, BRIEF tech 24h. HELP prints the full library, Cmd-K opens the palette, Alt-4 lands here from any view.
Six geometries, four presets
Start from a slot layout of three to ten tiles and assign an app per slot, or take a preset: morning briefing, markets watch, breaking news, newsroom. Applying one replaces the board, with undo.
Open the cockpit and choose a slot layout of three to ten tiles, or apply one of the four presets.
Assign a panel to each slot from the catalog, scope the ones that need it with the gear, and name the view.
Give two tiles the same colour so a click in one moves the other, then lock the layout so nothing shifts under your pointer.
The cockpit is desktop-only. In a narrow window the twelve-column grid reflows to two fixed columns, and narrower still to one panel at a time; on a phone it does not mount at all — you get a card pointing at the live feed, with a “View anyway” link if you insist. A layout stays in the browser you built it in — no export, no shareable layout link, and no shared workspace. The markets tile counts ticker mentions as they cross; it does not quote prices.
