I needed an clutter free online resource for stroke order of kanji/ hanji/ 漢字 that included less frequent characters. I couldn't find one so I made one: https://characterdb.ketmia.net/hitsujun/

INTRO:

I know that there are lots of other online resources for showing the stroke order of sinograms. Some of them are more useful than others. Most (probaly all) of them are incomplete with regard differences in stroke order according to region and writing style. Additionally, they explain often a rather limited number of sinograms.

KanjiStrokeOrders has the first two limitations as well (and might be less well maintained) but it does explain many more graphs (I counted 6612). I also happen to like the minimalist black and white single image with numbers style. If you know of a better resource, please let me know.
