Thank you for putting me on this list, I really appreciated
https://earth.nullschool.net/ By far and away my favourite site of all time. It’s a beautiful example of representing complex data in a manner that’s easy to digest, viscerally understand, even. It’s also the first time I heard of the Misery Index, which was fun to learn about.
http://worrydream.com/ Bret Victor's visual / interactive explanations of certain ideas or papers. Two that I like in particular are his redesign of Strogatz's paper on small world networks and the 'ladder of abstraction' http://worrydream.com/ScientificCommunicationAsSequentialArt... http://worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstraction/
I know it’s on HN a lot but I just love the application of his sphere of deep knowledge (military history) to pop culture.
OK I'll bite... There's a very cool five letters dot com which exists since forever (I just checked on the Internet Wayback Machine and it has a copy of the site in 1998!). I'll say what it is but I'd rather not link it directly as I wouldn't want HN to kill it (and its owner deciding to pull the plug, you never know you know).
It's basically called "lost.com" (but in another language) and there are just two lines of text saying:
Lost on the Internet? Don't worry, we're going to help you
* I just checked it and now it's some religious thing
https://zombo.com
This is my favorite website ever, because, quite simply, you can do anything at Zombocom.
For those who don't get it, in the late 90's there was a distinct sense that internet websites might just solve all of the world's problems, and we just hadn't imagined yet how it was going to happen, and most people hadn't really been online yet.
