Show HN: I 3D scanned the tunnels inside the Maya Pyramid Temples at Copan (Score: 150+ in 8 hours)

With these 3d captures, you can explore the 4km tunnel system that archaeologists created inside the temples at Copan that are closed to the public. The tunnels are often flooded by hurricanes and damaged by other natural forces--and collapsed on me and my Matterport scanner more than once--so this is a permanent record of how they appeared in 2022-23.
Unlike Egyptian pyramids, the Maya built their temples layer by layer outward, so to understand them, researchers tunneled into the structures to understand the earlier phases of construction. I arranged the guided versions of the virtual tours in a rough chronology, moving from the highest to the lowest and oldest areas: the hieroglyphic stairway composing the largest Maya inscription anywhere, the Rosalila temple that was buried fully intact, and finally the tomb of the Founder of the city, Yax Kʼukʼ Moʼ.
I've been working to build on top of the Matterport SDK with Three.js--and then reusing the data in Unreal for a desktop experience or rendering for film (coming soon to PBS).

Major thanks to the Matterport team for providing support with data alignment and merging tunnels while I was living in the village near site.

Gosub – An open-source browser engine (Score: 150+ in 18 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6gegi
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6gegi
Last year I wrote a post about trying to make a change in the world by writing a browser.
Today, we're excited to introduce Gosub, a new open-source browser engine that we are building from the ground up in Rust!
Gosub aims to be a modern, modular, and highly flexible browser engine. While still in the early development and experimentation phase, Gosub is shaping up nicely, and we’re looking to onboard more contributors to help us bring this project to life.
Some of the key highlights:
* Written in Rust: We're leveraging Rust's safety and performance features to create a robust and efficient engine.
* Modular Design: The project is organized around modules, allowing for clean separation of concerns and easier collaboration. It also allows us to easily swap components based on needs and allows more freedom for engine implementers in the future.
* Collaborative and open source: We’re building Gosub with the intention of making it approachable and open to contributions, aiming to create a project that's easier to understand and collaborate on compared to existing browsers.

Show HN: I built the most over-engineered Deal With It emoji generator (🔥 Score: 152+ in 2 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6gisq
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6gisq
Hi, all! Author here. What started as a small tool I built for a job interview, became "The Most Over-engineered Deal With It Emoji Generator":
- All operations done fully client-side - no backend, no private data leaves your browser.
- Uses machine learning models (MediaPipe Face Detector task) to automatically scale and position glasses on the detected faces.
- Extensive customization options for glasses:
- Placement of glasses anywhere on the input image (including slightly going outside it).
- Change the size of glasses.
- No limit on the number of glasses.
- Flip the glasses vertically or horizontally.
- Customize the direction from which the glasses appear on the image.
- Different types of glasses.
- GIF output options:
- Looping mode.
- Number of frames.
- Frame delay.
- Separate delay setting for last frame.
- Output size.
- Celebration confetti
- Easter eggs.
I've been working remotely for the last >9 years. When using non-verbal communication, it's important that your tone and intent comes across accurately.. Custom emojis became for me part of expressing yourself, creating bonds and camaraderie. I've originally created an MVP of this tool while applying for a exciting new job opportunity. As a showcase of my passion for programming, building teams and creating delightful user experiences. Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( But I wanted to polish it and release it for everyone to use for free, so that you can too "Deal With It"!
I have more ideas for even more features (check GitHub[1]), but wanted to launch it and see what's the feedback and ideas from the community!
And if you're looking for a Fullstack Developer with >14 years of experience, with passion for great customer experience (remote work or locally in Iceland), let's chat!
