This looks great!

I hacked around with OpenMapTiles to generate vector tiles in Arctic, Antarctic and WGS84 projections (the latter with 2×1 tiles at zoom 0) [1]. The time spent waiting for PostGIS to do reprojections etc made development very slow, and I've put off updating the tiles.

This tool is reprojects from WGS84 to Web Mercator while reading the tiles, so optimistically changing that would be much of what's needed.

[1] See the map at the bottom of gbif.org, there's a button to change the projection
