I am quite bad at history but quickly looking at central Europe this project seems to have some inaccuracies. - I couldn't find any mention of Prussia [0] - during years 1920-1938 the borders between Czechoslovakia and Poland are messing so it looks like it is a single country I am sure anyone can find what is missing/wrong with the history of their country. This is a community project after all so I am not surprised but based on Wayback machine this project started at least 7 years ago.

Huh? I opened it and immediately in the centre was "Königreich Preußen"

  I am sorry, I managed to find it but for some reason it dissapears after year 1818!

Portugal - one of the oldest countries in the world - inexplicably not appearing until 1929 is one of the most jarring things

I'm not an expert in history, but I think that Poland should reappear in 1918, but it's missing few more years on the map.

It tends more to be things which haven't been mapped yet rather than inaccuracies as such. Most mappers have concentrated on mapping their local town or city rather than national borders. See Kiev (https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=16/50.4633/30.5218&layers=O&date=1932&daterange=1853,2020 https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=16/50.4633/30.5218&la...) and London (https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=15/51.5163/-0.0900&layers=O&date=1890&daterange=1800,2021 https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/#map=15/51.5163/-0.0900&la...) for example. While the project may have been going a while, it was only last year that the time slider was introduced which made it properly functional as a historical map. At the moment there are still few mappers (including myself) but I get the impression that OHM is now beginning to develop more quickly!
