About
The Doom-O-Meter is a tongue-in-cheek website that aggregates real-world statistics from official scientific sources and maps them onto a completely unscientific doom scale. Do not use this for actual emergency planning.
It started as a way to explore interesting APIs and learn new technology. This is V2 — a complete revamp with a much more dramatic aesthetic, updated data sources, and a standalone architecture that requires no external database.
Data is fetched every 30 minutes via Vercel ISR(Incremental Static Regeneration) — pages are pre-rendered and served from Vercel's global CDN, so you get instant load times with fresh data, no database required.
