Very cool! I love it. Shared with my gaming group chat. Works perfectly on safari-ios too.
I don't know if data costs would be a concern with something like this, but I feel like the panorama images are fairly large. At least for a mobile user. You could follow a model like Google where you load a lower res panorama initially, and only load the high-res when zooming in. I looked at the github and the panorama library is Pannellum, which looks like it has a multiresolution format to do this. I've never used it but the docs make it seem simple.
Either way love it. I can't imagine it's very expensive but I wonder how much getting on the front page of HN costs in bandwidth.
Edit: looked deeper into the github and the images are hosted on imgbb. That's definitely the cheapest way to do it haha.
