Pollar: Visualizing Polish News with Hierarchical Clustering
September 7, 2025
Pollar is a hierarchical clustering news aggregation tool that visualizes Polish news events using interactive maps and graphs.
The Backstory
Hey there! I built Pollar because I was frustrated by the endless repetition and bias in news coverage. The sheer volume of information, especially regarding Poland, felt overwhelming. I wanted to create a tool that would help people see the bigger picture, cutting through the noise and highlighting trends. The initial response has been incredibly rewarding – seeing people appreciate the visualization and the way it reveals hidden patterns, well, that’s what makes it all worthwhile. The challenge now is scaling this up to international news – imagine the possibilities!

That's really nice, reminds me ground news but europe based. Good job.
Incredible stuff! Would love to see something like this for the UK - Poland news enthusiasts are lucky to gave you!
Loved it, especially the graph and the political bias on top of the coverage!
Nitpick: After user browse the graph the header changes to LL and it stays so until you hard refresh.
