In Sonoma, you can choose Add to Dock in Safari and make a nice little progressive web “app”. Just a cool feature. As for the color, it’s there now. It imports any stack resources from the old AddColor extension, the buttons and fields support both color and bevel level properties in the picker, and you can use any online image as a button icon you want.

  I used, and liked, the predecessor called Revolution which was closer to the original HyperCard ethos. They are now stuffing so much into LiveCode it feels lost in itself. As a company I find them all over the place with this product.

      They did yes, after quite a few funding campaigns targeted at their users. I felt quite bitter about that and I fell for the hype myself.

        Thank you for this. It lives! I will try these forks out. Don't you just love open source!

        Thoughts on the rebranding of tIDE? I'm sorry I missed it as "OXT Lite", but worry about it being presented Athena-like as born fully-formed from a single developer...

Try Basilisk 2 running MacOS 8 and HyperCard.

Being an "actual app on your Mac" is probably not going to be a great target for a revival of Hypercard. I would imagine a website, HTML5 "app" or some other portable technology would make way more sense and have much greater reach. The whole point should be to make the environment operable on the "cheapest computer" a person may have access to - an old Android mobile.
