PollenDates
PollenDates gives the typical start, peak and end dates for tree, grass and ragweed pollen in every US state. It runs no daily counts and no symptom advice — ragweed's end is simply the local first-frost date from NOAA's 1991–2020 records.
Why it earned its spot
Warm off-white ground, a heavy grotesk headline set as a plain question, and one green word in the wordmark — the restraint holds all the way down. The state list is the interface: fifty-one links in four quiet columns, with geolocation offered once above them in a soft grey card rather than demanded. Below it a three-lane chart plots tree, grass and ragweed across a twelve-letter month axis, a hairline marking today, so the shape of the year lands before a single page is clicked. Green and sand fills carry the only colour, which suits a subject people look up while miserable.

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.
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.
