cancompost
cancompost answers whether 400-odd everyday items belong in a compost pile — eggshells, k-cups, dog poop, compostable bags. Each item is rated separately against six systems, from a cold backyard heap to bokashi to municipal curbside, because the honest answer changes with the bin.
Why it earned its spot
The homepage leads with a fill-in-the-blank headline — ‘can you compost ___?’, the blank drawn as a short green rule — with the search field directly beneath, so the question and the answer box arrive together. Below it, everything is cards on warm cream: most-asked items tagged with a green tick, amber exclamation or red cross, then categories, then the three verdicts explained in colour-coded chips that match those tags. Rounded lowercase type and pale mint icon circles keep a fussy subject unfussy, while the closing explainer is set narrow in plain prose for readers who want the reasoning rather than the ruling.

BeachWaterTemp gives live and typical water temperatures for 221 US swim beaches, for anyone deciding whether to get in. Every reading names the NOAA station it came from and how far that station sits from the sand, rather than implying it was measured at the beach itself.
816 New York looks up any New York City address and shows what the Department of Buildings, HPD and 311 have on record for that building. Every record carries the date it was last checked, and when a check has not succeeded in three days the record says so rather than showing old numbers as current.
iFixCodes explains what HTTP status codes and WordPress errors mean and how to fix them, in words a site owner would use. The domain was a WordPress repair shop until it lapsed; the publisher who took it over keeps the old shop's plugin pages at their original URLs but retired its donation page.
The Safety Almanac dates every safety awareness day, week and month in the world, and ties each one to the injury it exists to prevent. A date is marked confirmed only once someone has read the organiser's own page and logged the day they read it; the rest are openly flagged as inferred.
