HyperCard Changed Everything [video]

• gdubs 7mo ago
  OP here. A ton of work went into making this video and I tried to be as accurate as possible. I know folks like Alan Kay and others come by Hacker News from time to time, so please let me know in the comments if there's anything I missed or got wrong. This was both difficult and fun to make — it's a departure from the types of videos I've been making. Hope you like it! Were you a HyperCard user? Tell your story here.

  Quality video. Engaging, informative, entertaining. Sadly I largely missed the SE growing up, we jumped from the Apple IIe to a 386

    Thank you! I had to suffer the embarrassment of a Tandy Sensation as our first home computer lol. (Sorry, Tandy Sensation – you were a very good friend and I owe you a lot.)

  Nice video. There have been some modern hypercard attempts, has anyone used any of those? They seemed pretty promising during the wave of "no-code" just before LLMs entered the scene. But hypercard still grants users the joy of creation, which is mostly lost when interacting with an LLM.
