Hypercard was great as a drag and drop "app" builder. Apple actually coded up iWeb a few years later, for which Hypercard could have been an excellent foundation.
There is still no great tool for preschoolers to start programming. Scratch is great but limited by its web and flash roots.
I have very fond memories of getting balls to bounce on edges and sprites as a kid. RIP Hypercard
- jandrese 6y agoThere has been some idle speculation over the years that adding a way to load stack pages over the network would have created the interactive web back in the prehistoric web days. The flipside of this is it would have been basically Flash, complete with all of the security nightmares that entails. Old MacOS was not built with security in mind. Also of course it would have been trapped on Macs.
