  Thank you for sharing this. It's such a great example of how fun learning and the internet can be. It's downright refreshing when things don't have the same exact design as the rest of the universe, and take the time to teach something.

  Very cool. Perhaps you've seen OneZoom[0] already which is purely based on phylogenetic data sourced from Open Tree of Life. OTOL has been around for a long time. The project aggregates phylogenetic data from thousands of studies and creates a massive synthetic tree.[1] It's neat because anyone can contribute. If you find a study not represented in there you can contribute the newick tree/annotation for it.[0] https://www.onezoom.org/[1] https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/argus/ottol@378964/...

  Took me a minute to figure out why I got a picture of a tree[1] for haloarchaea.https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/660443931

  Super cool! I just learned about 'incertae sedis' from here—though I think these things should at least be in their kingdom (e.g. Naldaviricetes are clearly viruses no?)

  Tufte would love this interface; it packs a ton of info, but is easy to use and understand.

  Neat potentially. But in "species or group" I typed homo sapiens and it loaded up that whole tree. I noticed that a sibling of human is "cumshot man." I searched this on Google and expectedly got porn results. Not sure why that shows up.

  Great design, very snappy. Fun to browse and learn about species I didn't know exist and see how species are related to each other.

  Some of the mouse-overs don't seem to match, hovering over 'viruses' shows a raccoon, and hovering over 'lungfish' shows a bird eating a fish

  Nice! One thing I am missing is an easy „go up” a taxonomy group.

  Love this. Also love that this is coming from someone with expertise who, based on comments below, takes quality seriously. Particularly cool when juxtaposed against one the other day “Any Human Ever” which was at first enthralling and joy-inducing, but upon deeper inspection was just a slop factory spreading misinformation across the internet.
