This is brilliant! Really make yourself feel at home: https://3dforreddit.com/r/art

r/Art and related subreddits really lend themselves to this. As the documenting of "related subreddits" is not standardized, reddit.com/dev/api has no way of listing them. Some write a /wiki/related page, most have it in the sidebar. Would make for an opportunity to add a webring-like "next" button.

Do you support VR in any way? Can I use this in my Oculus Quest browser?

Firefox Reality works on Oculus Quest, it's worth a try.

Please share your thought process, how you get idea to build something like this?

Not trying to flame the guy since he obviously put in a lot of work on his own, but the original idea is from a lainchan thread [1] for the 3d anonymous imageboard 3dchan [2]. I'm only assuming they're not the same person since this project is not on the 3dchan owner's github [3]. Again, the two are quite clearly different, and parallel creativity does exist in the realm of possibility, but my personal guess is he used the same concept to build something similar.

I dig the museum layout style. It really popped on r/gonewild

Uh, yeah, so, for anyone who didn't realise: r/gonewild is very much NSFW. I have just been educated on this point myself.
