I see that Bobby Fischer Freestyle Chess is gaining popularity, so I created this free app. You can randomize to a Chess960 position or enter a number. It includes FEN copy feature as well as export to Lichess Board Editor. Also shows your recent positions. Enjoy!

Thank you very much @TheRealFarley - that's amazing! We just discussed this matter and found it quite difficult to get a decent generator:

Nice job! Will you make it a public project? Would love to see the code! :)

You can also add a link to the analysis board, like:

Nice project @TheRealFarley! Added a link to it in the resources section of the official Lichess960 Team now. Thanks
Perhaps it could be integrated to analysis board on Lichess in the future as well, for example when Chess960 is selected below FEN and above PGN there could be a small input field for the starting position number that is linked to the positions fen. Just like when we add a FEN and press enter and the board updates, if we type e.g. 959 and hit enter, the board and FEN could be updated.

Great resource! Thank you for sharing it.

I think I was told that 2 of the 960 are the standard position in chess, so its not true that every position is unique, for the usual definition of the word unique. Or is that wrong and its only 1 in 960 that is the standard position?

Yes, @visualdennis , I tried to convince Lichess to implement it here: https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/freestyle--chess-960-adding-all-starting-positions-to-the-analysis-board
I think this generator it is essential for the 960 analysis board.
Maybe we are lucky in the near future...
