Really cool project! On a personal note, thanks for the reference! I'm one of the authors of the 2013 paper you cited, and it's awesome seeing how many new solutions have been found since then.
I have a quick question: how are you currently checking if a new candidate is genuinely novel rather than a rotated, time-shifted, or rescaled duplicate of an existing solution?
If you are not already computing it, topological classification (mapping orbits to free group words) would be a great way to quickly prune duplicates before heavy numerical checks, and it's also really useful metadata to display in the atlas itself. Also, showing shape sphere projections of the orbits would be a nice visual addition.
