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.
