Very cool.
Like many of these tools it suffers from northern hemisphere bias that hides interesting information about the southern hemisphere.
In looking to correctly simulate axial tilt we get Gondwana and Antarctica hidden from view in the shadow, their sunlit versions only available via options rather than hidden by default.
The southern polar region is the more interesting of the two for the vast majority of geological history and I think as Antarctica thaws we will need more interested geologists in it than our current conversations are generating.
I wish authors would emphasise it more when creating visualisations like this.
