Six Thousand Ways To Be Rare Screensaver
The Six Thousand Ways To Be Rare screensaver shows rare disorders from Orphanet, key-less. Every entry carries an ORPHA code, which exists because most of these diseases have no code of their own and are otherwise invisible to health systems that count by code. There is no date and no ranking in the dataset, so rather than imply a recency it does not have, the window rotates with the day. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
