Wtf does this do

The th-map-viewer repository is a tool for viewing maps from the game Tribal Hero. It lets you load and explore game maps in your browser, which is useful if you want to study terrain, plan strategy, or just revisit a world you played in. Since the repository has no README or documentation, the exact feature set is not spelled out. Based on the name and description, the tool likely takes Tribal Hero map data and renders it visually using JavaScript so you can pan around and inspect it. However, without further details from the project author, it is hard to say precisely what input formats are supported, how you load a map, or what extra features might be included. This would appeal to Tribal Hero players who want a standalone way to look at their game world outside the game itself. Strategy-focused players, alliance leaders, or anyone interested in map data could use it to get a clearer view of the terrain and village layouts.
