Show HN: HyperCard to HTML Converter

I created a converter that turns HyperCard 2.x stacks into standalone HTML so they can run in a modern browser. I built it to share my own stacks from the early '90s, which have been sitting on old floppy images for 30 years. It's MIT-licensed and I'd welcome contributions - especially stacks that break the converter, since I've only tested it against my own. If you have old HyperCard files lying around, I'd love to hear how they fare.

Did you create your own hypercard parser? That's dope. I have been making multi language structural parser, I have some hypercard capabilities. I haven't compared my output to anyone. But I have created ci CD pipelines that contain examples of all the things I want evaluated in all formats I could think, perhaps that would be helpful for your project.
