Ask HN: What are your favourite websites that display a lot of data / tables?
What are some websites that that you frequent which really nail the design and usability aspect of viewing lots of data via graphs/charts?
- solardev 2y agoI 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.
- akudha 2y agoBunch of pages on city-data haven't been updated in a while. It is also not nice to look at. My guess is that they had the first mover advantage and never bothered to make the site better. Statista has a ton of info but a lot of it is behind quite expensive paywall. I wonder if there is a middle path here - something that costs less than Statista (maybe not as comprehensive as Statista, they are a $150M company after all) and better than city-data.
- akudha 2y agoThis site has tons of economic data https://tradingeconomics.com/ https://tradingeconomics.com/ Expensive though Edit: Just remembered this one, Ballmer's side project https://usafacts.org/ https://usafacts.org/
- em500 2y agoFor economic (as opposed to business) data you're usually better off with FRED https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ https://fred.stlouisfed.org/
- mhh__ 2y agoTradingeconomics is better for comparative work IMO.
- inSenCite 2y agolove tradingeconomics and use it almost daily. I particularly like the way data is organized by country and by "use case".
- davedx 2y agoI think Koyfin does a decent job there. Great information density and ability to drill down into things
- inSenCite 2y agoany idea on their tech stack? Crunchbase just lists "HTML5, jQuery, and Google Analytics" which is not very helpful
- davedx 2y agoWhen figuring out tech stacks I usually start with their careers page :) https://www.koyfin.com/careers/senior-software-engineer/ https://www.koyfin.com/careers/senior-software-engineer/ Tech Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, RxJS, AWS, Kubernetes, MongoDB, PostgreSQL
- manomanowicz 2y agohttps://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ 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.
- inSenCite 2y agoThis is neat. Bit of a retro look but all info in 1 spot is kinda cool
- cbzbc 2y agoAlthough these days there's an alternate - and more modern looking - view of most of these stats: https://grid.iamkate.com/ https://grid.iamkate.com/
- TwiztidK 2y agoSimilar website for those in the US: https://www.gridstatus.io/home https://www.gridstatus.io/home Shows fuel mix, load, and price data for all of the ISOs. It's been really exciting to watch lately because you can see the huge uptick in solar and battery deployments in markets like CAISO and ERCOT.
- moralestapia 2y agoReally liked the aesthethic! Thanks for sharing.

- eleveriven 2y agoThank you for sharing. Needed it.
- endofreach 2y ago[dead]
- edmundsauto 2y agoYou 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. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/tony-gwynn/1005166/stats?position=OF https://www.fangraphs.com/players/tony-gwynn/1005166/stats?p... https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/mookie-betts-605141?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/mookie-betts-60...
- _boffin_ 2y agoLove the information density of mlb!
- Kon-Peki 2y agoThe fun part about that mlb site is that all of the data used to generate those pages is freely available to download [1] and use for whatever non-commercial uses you can think of. If you come up with something interesting, you can submit and present at one of the many conferences that happen (example: [2]) and are attended by the data science folks at the various mlb teams, who love chatting with people about baseball stats. The ecosystem is extremely open especially compared to other pro sports leagues like, say, the Premier League.

- inSenCite 2y agoYes looking for some inspiration! These are great examples, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. thanks!
- xnx 2y agohttps://fred.stlouisfed.org/ https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ focuses in the information without using indecipherable visualizations or adding a bunch of chart junk.
- frfl 2y agoI don't use it, but I know of it: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/pipe-hangers/id~1-1-4/ https://www.mcmaster.com/products/pipe-hangers/id~1-1-4/
- runxel 2y agoDefinitely McMaster-Carr! Such a high information density, but perfectly legible.
- bofh23 2y agoIt’s a wonderful resource but they neglect the pagetitle element which is set to “McMaster-Carr” on every page. Links opened in tabs/windows all get the same title and bookmark titles need to be manually edited to be useful. Why do developers of otherwise great websites neglect page titles?
- ssharp 2y agoIt's a great site when you need to buy this sort of thing. However, given how lauded it is for functional usability, I noticed I need to rage click the back button in order to get to the site I came from after clicking one of their links.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoI usually right-click + private browse random links, it keeps my cookies/local storge cleaner, and solves this kind of hijacking as a side effect.
- StayTrue 2y agoI find the behavior varies depending on whether your browser sends a Referer header. (Which is still a fail on their part.)

- pxeger1 2y agoNot 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.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoFWIW this app used to be much more basic and worse before Apple bought a company (DarkSky) that was really good at making their own weather app and essentially incorporated DarkSky’s design into Weather. Which offers a little insight as to why their app is uniquely better - apparently building a great weather app is not as straightforward as one might think. In terms of really great well-designed apps that aren’t Apple’s the Norwegian meteorological agency maintains a really nice one called yr.no. It’s totally free (paid for by Norwegian taxes) and available worldwide. I use it in Scandinavia all the time, but less so in the States because like in your case the accuracy is diminished the further away you get from Norway. I bet it works pretty well in the UK though given the UK’s proximity to Norway.

- sam_goody 2y agoOT: 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?
