I reach for it several times per week. Never struggle finding what I want, nor getting it into the shape I want it.

Weatherspark for visualizing weather data over time. Great for planning the time of year to visit foreign lands.

You didn’t say why, but I’m guessing for dataviz inspiration. Baseball specific, but check out a player stats page on fangraphs.com

Baseballsavant is another excellent example.

Both are targeted towards laypeople. In fact, most baseball fans are not data savvy (or even data friendly!) so these are targeted at an audience that needs things spoon fed and look for any reason to hate something.

I really like what https://datagolf.com/ has done to visualize and explore professional golf statistics.

A few interesting pages to check out:

- Scottie Scheffler's (Current Top Golder in the World) Player's Profile: https://datagolf.com/player-profiles?dg_id=18417

- Approach Skill Analysis: https://datagolf.com/approach-skill

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ focuses in the information without using indecipherable visualizations or adding a bunch of chart junk.

I created this data dashboard with Observable Framework[1] and Rust-Script[2] so I can check-in daily to better understand the data collected during Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)[3] sessions.

The Intel Intrinsics Guide is excellent at what it does:

The National Weather Service (NWS) has weather reports in tabular format: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=29.7687&lon=-9...

The graphical tables are nice, too: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=29.7687&lon=-9...

Hundreds of examples of data, maps, etc on RAMADDA- https://ramadda.org/repository/alias/examples

👤 manomanowicz
https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

It hasn't had a format change for at least as long as I've used it (since 2009). The gauges both reflect the industrial nature of the data as well as show the portion of the capacity being used.

The trend charts are great too, telling the story of the short, medium and long term generation sources.

I've stopped playing these past few months but probably the one that I kept going back to was this website to check stats for Escape From Tarkov's ammunition: https://www.eft-ammo.com/

👤 bobwaycott
https://finviz.com/ is pretty fantastic.

👤 kkoncevicius
Genecards: https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=OR52L1

Scroll down to see lots of different kinds of data about a particular selected gene, with a navigation menu sticking at the top.

I love FinViz

Not a website per se, but https://datasette.io is very rich in features. Hopefully not off-topic, but related.



👤 akudha
This site has tons of economic data https://tradingeconomics.com/ Expensive though

Edit: Just remembered this one, Ballmer's side project https://usafacts.org/



👤 pxeger1
Not a website, but the iOS default weather app is very well thought out. It makes me wonder why other weather apps don’t present it like that.

It’s a shame the actual forecast data aren’t the best (at least here in the UK), and I do also wish the graphs had confidence intervals on them.

Gapminder. World well-being across countries is visualized in really nice ways over time. And also a shit-ton of other graphs.

Dotabuff was great. It shows stats for Dota 2 basically and hasn't changed much since I used it in like 2015.

FAOStat https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/

I can get the the data, and the definitions, quickly.


👤 solardev
I frequently use city-data.com. It's not beautiful but it's very useful and easy to understand, especially compared to official Census data.

Rtings.com uses charts for its reviews, but most it is over my head.


👤 gennarro
Check out https://transportation.report it has a lot of cool auto and transpo data that I didn’t even know existed.

OT: But, someone please help - almost every one of the links on this page do not show for me when I am logged in - I have to logout to read the comments.

This is how it is for me on many many HN pages. I assume because link only replies are auto-set to below some threshold, as are anything with even one downvote.

How can I change that? I set "showdead" -> yes in my profile. What else can I set?

BoxOfficeMojo is one of the most cited sources for movie ticket sales info and has lots of interesting data and tables. They paywalled a bunch of cast data a few years back but the title data is still there. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/
