HyperTIES was a hypermedia system designed by Ben Shneiderman at the University of Maryland Human Computer Interaction Lab. HyperTIES was certainly inspire by Ted's ideas, but a totally different design and focus on usability and easy browsing and authoring, and also (with the NeWS version) runtime extensibility and scriptability. Every HyperTIES article had a short definition summarizing its contents, and single clicking on a link would show that definition at the bottom of the screen without leaving the current context. Double clicking followed the link, and a stroking gesture left or right with a pie menu would open the link up in different windows. I've written about it before and transcluded the discussion and links into this "HyperTIES Discussions from Hacker News": https://donhopkins.medium.com/hyperties-discussions-from-hacker-news-937d156f0330 https://donhopkins.medium.com/hyperties-discussions-from-hac... >I linked to a brilliant video by Ted Nelson about his life’s work, and transcribed his most important points (it took him a lifetime to know what to say on the video, so it was well worth my time transcribing what he had to say, to save other people their own time), and then I went onto writing about how HyperTIES applied those ideas, and added concepts like pie menus, definition previews (sorely missing from the web: a way to read the definition of a link destination without actually following the link and losing your context), applets, emacs based authoring, etc. >It’s ironic that the web is still so primitive that I had to perform a lot of transclusion myself by hand in order to explain the idea of Transclusion that has been around so long, which Ted Nelson has always thought should be built in and automatic, not something you have to do laboriously by hand.
