The data strip
100+ live feeds
The data strip
The data strip is Nexma's intelligence dashboard. It sits across the bottom of the workspace, presents 100+ live data feeds in a compact strip, and renders the selected feeds onto the Globe. Every feed is a Codex file; every feed reads, writes, and renders through the same pipeline.
What the strip shows
- Operational feeds. Weather, lightning, wind, ocean currents, river gauges,
air quality, pollen, UV.
- Movement feeds. Flights, ships, trains, bus fleets, fleet vehicles.
- Threat and intel feeds. Earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, volcanoes, floods,
active wildfires.
- Cyber feeds. Threat scanner, network intel, exposure scanner, abuse
intelligence.
- Economic and political feeds. Sanctions, court records, ad library, public
procurement.
- Environmental feeds. Deforestation, emissions, climate anomalies, sea ice,
glacial retreat.
- Custom feeds. Project-specific feeds from internal systems, equipment
telemetry, or partner APIs.
The catalog grows continuously; feeds can be enabled per workspace.
Codex-first
Every feed writes to the Codex when fresh data arrives:
1feeds/flights.geojson
2feeds/weather.geojson
3feeds/threat-scanner.jsonA reactive layer renders any GeoJSON feed onto the Globe automatically. There is no per-feed UI code; adding a new feed requires:
- A catalog entry.
- A data handler that fetches and writes to the Codex.
- A chart configuration for non-spatial visualizations.
Pinning
Right-click any entity on the Globe — a flight, a vessel, a sensor reading — to pin it to Jax's chat. Pinned entities become spatial context chips that travel with the next message. Jax can then read the entity's state and reason about it.
Seed-then-serve
Live external APIs are not called at request time. A scheduled worker fetches each feed on its native cadence and caches the result; the browser reads from the cache. This keeps the strip responsive at thousands of concurrent users without spending API budget per view.
Temporal slider
The strip carries a timeline scrubber. Sliding the scrubber re-renders all time-aware feeds at the chosen instant. Useful for after-the-fact incident review and for forecasting against future-dated feeds.
Limits
- Update cadence is per-feed (most feeds are 30s–5m fresh; some forecast feeds
are hourly).
- Some feeds are gated by region or by enterprise plan.
- The data strip is not a SCADA replacement — it is observational, not
control-authority.
