RuffRanks.com is a technology demonstrator website intended to present the outcome of extended efforts to leverage modern technologies to humanize and democratize access to data. This website incorporates a range of technologies, new and old, well-established and cutting-edge, but instead of focusing on the technologies, the site focuses on data story telling and user engagement with the data.
