Have always really liked Hypercard. Would totally be interested in a new Hypercard style system where users can upload and share cards. Kate Compton's "Generominos" project looks like a promising start: http://www.galaxykate.com/generominos/ http://www.galaxykate.com/generominos/ Aside from the blatant identity politics of this "crime.team" site, it seems to be about the site creator trying to sell other people's submitted work for free. > By submitting your stack, you are giving me permission to sell your stack as part of HyperCard Zine. I ask that, if your stack is published as part of HyperCard Zine, please wait at least a year after publication to sell it on your own. Hard pass.

Maybe the alternative is not getting your weird Hypercard stack published at all? The curator's work is also worth something. If this were a poetry journal that seeks contributions from young male writers, I don't think anyone would call it "blatant identity politics". Somehow women doing creative things on a computer get treated particularly harshly.

    Publishing art with a theme is not automatically politics. Nor is it a “game”.

> it seems to be about the site creator trying to sell other people's submitted work for free. … Just above the section you quote: "All artists who end up in the final copy will get an equal cut of the revenue made from selling the collection." Yeah, it sucks that you couldn't sell the stack you submit on your own for a year, but isn't almost always that the case for freelance work? When you're a freelance journalist, surely your client buys the right to publish your story exclusively for some period of time.
