This is a nice visualizer for the time series data. I am constantly annoyed by the zoom in/out feature because it apparently doesn't allow display of all longitudes from dateline to dateline, left to right. There appears to be a stripe of missing longitudes that one is only able to see if they zoom out one level so that large sections of the globe are repeated. This is not a complaint that is unique to this display, it is very common.
After pointing out that annoyance I hate to mention too that the data could use some cleaning of duplicate entries related to slight differences in focal locations.
One set of triplicates that demonstrates this is located east of Greenland and is visible when parameters are set to display >6.5 magnitude quakes. The event is a 6.8 quake which occurs on 11/8/2018 at 7:49:40 pm UTC for an event at 10 km depth and there are three locations for the same event (one of them has a time stamp two seconds earlier but is unlikely to be a different event of the same magnitude).
I suspect that the display uses information from multiple sources that have not been cleaned for duplicates. I believe it would be difficult to identify all instances of duplication in a dataset like this for quakes of lower magnitudes especially.
Anyway, I like it but I did stumble on or against a couple of things that I thought noteworthy.
Good job overall, the easy part is done and it works and is a useful display.
