Europe’s Data, Catalogued Screensaver
The Europe’s Data, Catalogued screensaver shows datasets on the EU open data portal, key-less. Every text field is a language map rather than a string, because the portal is genuinely multilingual rather than English with translations bolted on — so English is preferred and the first available language used as a fallback, which keeps rows from catalogues that never published an English description. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
