RiverDates
RiverDates shows how a US river is running right now against every year on record for the same calendar date, for anyone planning a float. Its 229 gauges were hand-picked from thousands — most rivers have a dozen, only one or two sit on floatable water — and it refuses to ever call a river safe.
Palette
Notes
A cream page marked with faint concentric ripples behind the header, set in deep teal — a palette taken from river water rather than the usual outdoor-recreation greens. Under a single search field, twelve river cards each carry the state, the exact reach (‘Canyon Dam tailrace from Sattler through the Horseshoe Loop’) and the fullest and leanest months on one line, so a reader can scan for a match without clicking through. Copy sits in a narrow left-aligned measure, and the long run of common questions at the foot is set as plain prose rather than accordions — a quiet signal that the answers are meant to be read.

Unrivaled
Unrivaled is the home of the women's 3x3 league Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart built to keep top WNBA players competing through the offseason. Its inaugural players were given equity in the league itself, so the athletes on the roster are part-owners of what they play in.
FishingHelps
FishingHelps scores how likely the fish are to bite today in any of 16,000-plus US towns, cities and lakes. Its whole forecast rests on solunar theory, which the site itself calls a folk model with mixed scientific support — an unusually honest thing to admit.
tennisyard
Tennisyard is an independent review site covering tennis strings, racquets and gear for people who actually play. No string gets written up before 20 hours of play and no racquet before 15 hours of matches, and every review has to name something the product does badly.
