A side project that outgrew itself

PopulationPyramid.net started in 2011 as a data visualization experiment. It hit the front page of Hacker News. Then Reddit. Then academic papers started citing it. Teachers assigned it as homework. Researchers embedded it in reports.

Fifteen years later, it's one of the internet's go-to tools for understanding how populations shift across the world, from Japan's aging crisis to Nigeria's youth bulge. All built on open UN data. All free.

Now it needs more than one person can give it. That's what PyramidOS is for.

What runs autonomously

Data Freshness

When the UN publishes new population estimates, PyramidOS detects the update, processes the data, and flags what changed across every country.

Competitor Watch

Tracks PopulationPyramids.org, Our World in Data, and other demographic tools. Surfaces new features and content gaps worth filling.

SEO & Content

Generates country-specific demographic analysis pages. Plain-language summaries that explain what population shifts actually mean for each nation.

Educator Outreach

Identifies geography and demography teachers worldwide. Contacts them with curriculum-ready resources built on the site's visualizations.

The roadmap

Admin dashboard

Traffic analytics, data freshness monitoring, and content management in one view.

AI-powered insights

Automated demographic summaries for every country. What the data means, not just what it shows.

Growth engine

Systematic outreach to educators, researchers, and newsrooms who use demographic data daily.

The world's demographic data, running on autopilot

Built by a PhD who cares about making data useful. Powered by an AI that never stops working.
