HyperCard

I'm a software erector set that brought HyperText to the masses and got many a start in programming.

Back in 1987, magazines like Macworld would run lists of the best HyperCard stacks:

A brutally authentic HyperCard clone running on the web. 😮I'd love to see a more modern take on HyperCard, but this is neat, too. Would be nice if you could import old HyperCard stacks to it. https://t.co/GJMYHEYBiF

Today I learned... the Fujitsu FM TOWNS system had its own equivalent to Apple's HyperCard, or Microsoft's Visual Basic, called TownsGEAR タウンズギア which featured its own scripting language called GearBASIC

This is my own built-in color editor: It was a completely separate "color-adding mode" and just overpainted white areas of a card with colored pixels or pictures, it didn't actually make buttons or text have color. Though color would "follow around" a button or field when moved.

[HyperCard @HyperCard]

@frdelrosario First with version 2.2. It was called "AddColor" and was an ingenious set of XCMDs and scripts that let you add colors to your cards as a separate layer, filling in the white areas of a card (the black areas stayed black).

Some people didn't like my color editor. But color was not built in, so a company just created and sold their own editor with the features they were missing, like Bill Basaraba's ColorPaint Tools Pro:

Quite a few folks commented about the Myst demake looking like Cyan's earlier works so...Myst in 1bit!

HyperTalk has nearly no reserved words. You can use variables named the same as common commands and they will just work:

Thx @mihai for transporting me back to the '90s with https://t.co/uO5D3mlNMd Mac OS 7 in a browser. Need to update my @HyperCard stacks... More info: https://t.co/bMkP7jkpMd #nostalgiaware

Double-XX was a stack (and XCMDs) that let you make your HyperCard stacks smaller and faster by compiling them into a small application that ran XCMDs.

If you had CompileIt! you could write these XCMDs in HyperTalk.

One idiom that Hypercard (yup, I'm old...) had that I've not seen replicated on the web: lockscreen. Prevented the screen from updating until you were done with the transition.

[HyperCard @HyperCard]

@timkokesh @willigula @anildash I was originally free, included with every Mac. It was only with HyperCard 2 that Apple moved me to Claris to be paid software instead.
