I love the concept of notebooks (as referred to in this article). It reminds me of the way HyperCard made it very easy for non-techies to create something that looks great to share out with the world. I'm honestly surprised nobody else has exploited this functionality before!
- detourdog 3y agoAt that time FileMaker was the HyperCard for data analysis. They could also interoperate.
- shaunxcode 3y agoNo one asked but the MacIvory genera world could also interoperate with HyperCard.
- detourdog 3y agoI just looked up MacIvory (Symbolics). I wish I had worked at place that needed that. I have Luther Johnson's MakerLisp box that I want to boot up and add to my set-up to define symbols for the daily status of a building's systems. https://www.makerlisp.com https://www.makerlisp.com

- B1FF_PSUVM 3y ago> prioritized the author's laziness over audience comprehension. Is that even possible? The audience - people in general - are very resistant to having knowledge/ideas shoved into their brains, and I don't blame them, 90% of it is crap. Authors have to work very hard to overcome this. "Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them", best advice I got on presentations. If there was anything better the Powerpoint, short of "killing the unbelievers", it would probably have made a mint by now.
