I really like and hate this site at the same time.

I like it because of its minimalism and function over form.

I hate it because I have no idea what any of it means.

That's not a critique. It should stay high on the SNR, as it clearly serves a purpose. I'm just jealous because I know other folks that have figured this stuff out and are likely far smarter than me are making a ton of money right now. PEBCAK.

Any idea where I should start so I can grok this site better?

Option Volatility and Pricing by Natenberg and Option Trading by Sinclair were the books given to me at an options trading firm if you're looking to get really acquainted.

Where do websites get this information? Do they get it for free or do they pay CBOE for it? edit: as in the raw data

You can purchase real time data streams for relatively cheap (200/month) from many companies, even exchanges themselves.

I’m actually building something similar for my own options trading and was eventually going to spin it into a SaaS.

Haven't been able to find decent data providers other than brokers. Have any good providers you're willing to share?
