I wish there were more beautiful government data aggregators like this one — most people don't even know how much stuff the gov makes publicly accessible (voluntarily or by means of FOIA), probably because it's all buried in 20-year-old Java applets.

What similar resources are out there? Any favorites?

I would also like to know. The German government actually has a decent API for accessing countless parliamentary documents, but it doesn't make the data very accessible to normal people...
