I am a current Apple daily driver for my computing needs, but not until somewhat recently
This was a pretty interesting video about the hypercard software from the 80s
Did anyone here use it? What kind of things did you create?
Myst was created in HyperCard, originally.
I did a lot of stuff in Hyper Studio, which I would say was “inspired” by HyperCard but a lot more approachable (and sort of like supercharged PowerPoint). As a kid I got my feet wet in programming in its scripting language.
I don’t remember the details, but I read a comment somewhere that a small business, like a repair shop, created a custom application and has been using it for years.
I tried to google but only found this from 2002.

the more I learn about it the more I want to set up a VM and find a copy so I can play around with it
found this in another comment, apparently there is an online Mac OS 9 system that even includes HyperCard!

thank you @nan@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Thanks for the ping. I’ll take any excuse to watch Computer Chronicles.
