Freestyle / Chess 960 - adding all starting positions to the analysis board?

<Comment deleted by user>

That's the one! Now let's convince Lichess to implement that generator :)

To answer the UI/UX part of the question, I recently updated my site to have chess960 positions, and I use a searchable dropdown for the start position:

https://www.chessfromposition.com/chess960

It shouldn't be too difficult to implement something like that on lichess.

Also, you probably already know this, but if you have the FEN of the starting position, you can load the starting position directly in the lichess analysis board using

https://lichess.org/analysis/chess960/<the fen>

e.g.
