Free idea: this is a great resource. People will want access to this. Increase its "linkedness". Internal links (related maps, recommended maps, etc) make it easy for people to navigate in site (Amazon is great at this). External inbound links (SEO, embed-capability for journalists, etc) help people get on site.
The other pages work, but it looks like I'm getting some sort of blown-up mobile view, even on my desktop. The text and buttons are 2 or 3 inches tall.
It's a cool concept, and launching is always the hard part, so I know it's only going to get better from here on out.
UPDATE: In Firefox, the home page is also blank. I don't see a TypeError but I'm having trouble figuring out the JS console. The other pages are normal-sized, not mobile views.
Great, David. Free idea: this is a great resource. People will want access to this. Increase its "linkedness".

On Safari, for the home page, I just see a blank page, and a TypeError in the console. The other pages work, but it looks like I'm getting some sort of blown-up mobile view, even on my desktop.

This is really neat! I do work for a non-profit that does advocacy for child maltreatment legislation, this could prove useful. Not just for us but for any group that needs to visually present timeseries data, especially given that it seems difficult for smaller non-profits to attract tech talent.
Cool! Perhaps you could also support real-time sensor data? Services as Luftdaten.info would love to have these visualizations.
Yeah, one of my future plans is to setup an API so real-time data could be entered into the site. I also want to make changes so that point data can be added in (i.e. lat/lon) so that it's easy to do real time tracking of things - e.g. whales, birds, ships, ... etc. The lat/lon changes would also allow things like earthquakes, fires, floods, world's tallest buildings over time, 7 wonders of the world ... etc to also…
Keep in mind that some stuff (such as 7 wonders of the world) and other somewhat stationary data is better added in OpenStreetMap - but for the other cases, you're tool could be a good solution. I'm looking forward to updates to it!

There seems to be a lot of feedback on updating the design. Perhaps I should move that up the priority list!
I would agree with that feedback. The actual visualization is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while, and it makes the UI's slightly less-than-cool design really stand out.
