Shade map is cool, which data source are you using for the height map? I've been working on something similar (link also in user profile).

Mapbox free-tier for Digital Elevation Model (DEM) map tiles. suncalc NPM library to calculate the position of the sun. OSM buildings (hopefully) for buildings in urban areas.

Your app looks great. I like the way you visualise twilight/golden hour on your map. There is another project called shadowmap.org you might like.
