Has anyone made a serious attempt to recreate HyperCard for modern systems? Would Apple try to block it?

- cmdrriker 5y agoI think Supercard is still going, its sorta like a souped up version of Hypercard
- blacksmith_tb 5y agoI haven't used it in a looong time, but yes[1] it is, apparently. 1: https://supercard.us/ https://supercard.us/
- chris_wot 5y agoDoes not work on Catalina and Big Sur.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoHas anyone used this one? Is it good? I'm on a compatible OS but it's just so incredibly expensive...
- analog31 5y agoWow, that's great. I wrote a printed circuit layout program in SuperCard. You basically drew your program in the card layout editor using a few allowed shapes, and it just looped through all of the shapes on the card and translated them to Gerber files. The color identified top or bottom copper. When I got my first boards back from the fab, and they were actually what I designed, I nearly fell over.

- coolestuk 5y agoOn a thread reminiscing about Hypercard, the only comment down-voted is the one that points to a superset of Hypercard that runs on Windows, OSX and Linux and that can also produce apps that run on iOS and Android. And it's free to use and GPL'd. What a weird place HN is.
- notaclevername 5y agoPower Apps in Office365 are darned close. I never had a deep experience with HyperCard, so I'd actually love to hear folks with deeper experience contrast the two.
- ta988 5y agoExcept that you do not own it and apps may disappear. We can still run hypercard stacks many decades later... I doubt we will be able to run actual power apps in 15 years.
