Previously I was using this site to explore floating point representations:
https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
This one has the extra feature of showing the conversion error, but it doesn't support double precision.
I was looking through the comments to see if someone already mentioned it. Great webpage!
However the one in OP has an amazing graph intuitively explaining the numeric space partitioning - the vertical axis is logarithmic, and the horizontal is linear for each row on its own, but rows are normalized to fit the range between the logarithmic values on the vertical axis. I guess it's obvious once you're comfortably understanding floats and could do with some explanations for those still learning it.
