Not a product, and not necessarily less known, but definitely a VERY cool website from late Swedish Doctor Hans Rosling (author of Factfulness): https://www.gapminder.org/

The website does such a good job visualizing data.

I highly recommend this website. As a fan of Hans Rosling, I have found Gapminder to be an excellent resource when I needed facts about the world.

Same. After reading his book looong time ago (still need to read his second one, I thinks it's more of a biography) I still go to this site occasionally for facts!

well, it's a website for an app-based service, but I still think it deserves recognition.

Apparently distrowatch.com is hosted in Copenhagen. TIL.

Edit: Oh it said "less known"... Well, I bet none of you knew it was hosted in Copenhagen!!!
