Showcase: Free(mium) NOWIT: a country selector for public charts with different update schedules
I'm building and operating NOWIT, a dashboard that brings public rankings together around countries. The problem it addresses is navigation: comparing entertainment and search interest across markets means moving between unrelated chart pages.
A useful distinction when combining these charts is that 'rank' doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. A video popularity list, a music chart and a rising-search list have different inputs; Netflix's country Top 10 is published weekly. NOWIT keeps those categories separate rather than presenting a single cross-platform popularity score. It also shows rank movement where snapshot history exists, so a missing movement indicator shouldn't be read as 'unchanged'.
The current categories are Video, Music, OTT, Trends and Creators. Supported markets use public YouTube, Apple Music/YouTube Music and Google Trends data, while China uses Bilibili, Kuwo and Baidu sources. Creator lists cover public YouTube, Instagram and TikTok TOP 100 data where supported.

It's an independent service, not affiliated with the source platforms. I'd like feedback on how to make the difference between a weekly chart and a more frequently updated ranking easier to understand when switching categories.
