The top page of ISS in Real Time looks like this.
The left side of the screen lists the data contained in this website. Of the 9,130 days of the 25-year mission, 9,064 days (99.28%) contain some data, including all 4,739 days of communication with Earth. Other data includes 4,561,987 phone calls with Earth in 69 languages, 6,932,274 photographs taken over 8,550 days, 10,908 articles written over 7,711 days, and 930 videos filmed over 712 days.
At the top of the screen, you can see the number of years since astronauts began staying on the ISS. Click 'Open Calendar' below that.
Then, a calendar was displayed that allowed you to see what records were left on each date.
For example, if you hover your cursor over 'April 10, 2017,' you can see the team of astronauts and personnel who were on board the ISS that day, as well as the spacecraft they were aboard.

On the left side, you can see the ISS-related articles published that day. It seems that April 10, 2017, was the day the Expedition 50 crew departed the ISS after completing their 173-day mission and returned to Earth.
It was also reported that the Soyuz spacecraft carrying the three people had undocked.
A photo of the moon taken from the ISS is also displayed in the center.
There was also a photo of the Earth taken from the ISS.
On the right side, there was an audio archive of communication records between the ISS and Earth, as well as a map showing the ISS's orbit, etc. In this way, ISS in Real Time makes it easy to refer to all the data from astronauts' stays on the ISS over the past 25 years.
ISS in Real Time was created by Ben Feist, a software engineer at NASA's Johnson Space Center , and David Charney, a designer at NASA.

The data listed on the website was already public, some of it was on other websites, and some of it had already been made private, but these were in separate locations and could no longer be linked to the timeline created or viewed together in one place.
So the two worked outside of their normal working hours to create ISS in Real Time over the course of about 11 months. 'The cool thing about this is that you can go back and play it all the way back to the first day the Expedition 1 crew was on board,' Charney said. 'Once you've played that day's timeline to the end, you can go forward to the next day, and then play the next day's timeline to the end, and then go forward again.'
