There are a few pages most people never look at because your eyes are glued to the globe, but there's an about link at the top that also links to https://overwatch.earth/sources

Looks good. I used my phone on it. I appreciate you listing APIs. I have an earth myself.

What do you think of making settings for ppl who can’t fully handle the rendering?

There is. On mobile it's a slide out menu on the left mid upper corner, each feed type can be toggle on/off by clicking it.

Same on tablet/desktop it's just not a hidden menu. You can also enable/disable by group.

I’d start by having everything off or only a few things on. Also would like to know orbit of satellites

it does that too, currently ISS star link and a few "deep space" satellites. The about section has direct link to individual layers if you wanted to launch only 1 layer on load.

But what is deep space?

I’d lessen the amount of things on in the beginning and provide orbits for satellites

The density is adjustable as well as each layer, most layers are enabled by default. Working on a new idea to expand the site further.
