If all the hype about #HyperCard were laid end to end, it would probably circle the earth; but, in fact, much of it is deserved. (j p) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1988

Some of My History of Hypertext

https://mdhughes.tech/2025/04/22/some-of-my-history-of-hypertext/

So in 1979, young Digital Mark is shown a computer, a TRS-80 Model I, by 4th-grade teacher. Other kids play Snake, I hit break and type LIST, seeing BASIC code, because I've been reading the instruction card. "I can read and learn this!" Nothing else now matters to Mark.

That summer, I take an

Next project I'm equally afraid and hyped about: re-implementing most of #HyperCard as #HTML form-based app. Requires:
- A working #HyperTalk (or the like) interpreter
- Card editing form that's flexible enough to build e.g. a calculator
- Script editing UI
- Smart evaluation that works well with old-school HTML-first UIs
- Server setup to handle all of these

Some of these are entirely new to me, and some don't have reasonable libs for in #CommonLisp, so I'm quite floored with the amount of work. But if I manage to make this thing, I'll have a reliable note-taking tool and a simple programming system!

(Now that I think about it, I don't really need a note-taking tool, because I use #hpda. And the simple programming system might as well be a headless HyperTalk interpreter...)

I have found that it is really hard to get pixel perfect results when trying to create classic System 6/HyperCard windows using html/css when working with Safari. It is SO OPINIONATED about dithering certain things that are pixel perfect 1-bit pngs and about rounding the corners of form fields.

I switched to using svgs to make a fill for my pinstripe title bars because of the dithering and inserting
-webkit-appearance: none; into CSS to strip out styling of the form fields. #retrocomputing #hypercard

Hi. So, it's a couple of days too late for #MARCHintosh, but I've got #HyperCard busy controlling the QuickCam now. And that's also how we can tell that midnight is quickly approaching.

If you’re at the intersection (maybe not total) of interactive fiction, game exploration, HyperCard/HyperTalk, and graph theory, and have some fondness for Myst, this is clearly the article series for you.
