The STAT tracker looks pretty slick to me. (STAT is a medical research and news publication out of Boston).

Their case graphic (for US or state by state) is demonstrative as it shows total cases and daily new cases - which is going to be the most important metric going forward.

I think another very useful number would be a state by state tracker on how many positive tests are coming back per state as a percentage of total tests administered per state. If a state were to double total tests overnight, would their positive cases also double or would there be a lower percentage of positives but a higher raw number of new cases?

The total number of people who exhibit no symptoms after testing positive is not an easy number to pin down, but I have seen some numbers up in the 50-70% range and a recent report of over 80%. (The accuracy of tests is always a concern in any of this.) I would also assume that some people are being tested because they do have symptoms of something and some of those come back positive.
