• HyperCard Simulator

  I would say that HTML/Javascript is not a "tool" in the same sense that HyperCard was. HyperCard's real strength was that it allowed mere users (not programmers) to create their own apps (or "stacks", in the HyperCard parlance) through pointing and clicking, plus an English-like scripting language (HyperTalk). We have largely abandoned the idea that users should be able to create their own apps, so there is no... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Decker: A fantastic reincarnation of HyperCard with 1-bit graphics

  If the language is the most important thing for you, https://livecode.com/ has a very HyperTalk-like language and runs on modern hardware. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Bill Gates demonstrates Visual Basic (1991) [video]

  Runtime Revolution/Livecode spun out after going opensource and is now closed source: https://livecode.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Now, NiceGUI has a build-in persistent user/session based storage.

  But I’m used to working in a different language that has a built-in interactive GUI — https://livecode.com so my usual development plan is:. Source: about 1 year ago

• CardStock

  Let's not forget that runtime revolution, now called Livecode (https://livecode.com/) still exists and is likely the functional, modern successor to HyperCard. Hypercard Stacks as far as I remember work out of the box too. Historically there was HyperCard, then cross-platform Metacard, which eventually became Runtime Revolution, which apparently is now renamed Livecode! Don't have any skin in it, just sharing as... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• File size of C1 TIFFs

  I exported a bunch of 8-bit TIFFs from C1-21 today. The Finder reported them all around 92Mb (Sony A7r3 files). I tried to upload them to my site at format.com only to have half rejected for being "over 100Mb". Source: over 1 year ago

• When I send my site to people (Facebook, discord, whatever) this is the screencap and description people see. This image is nowhere on my site. My domain name is through google, and it isn't on google domains. Where is this likely cached and how do I reset it? Frankly, it is a boring image.

  I am using format.com. What sort of metadata should I be setting? Source: over 1 year ago

• I think web station made it so I can't connect via IP?

  I usually connect by quick connect, but my website host is coming to an end. It is currently on format.com, a photography site. I started to make a site in php, and rather than configure mamp, I thought I'd put my images on synology. Ever since installing web station, maria, phpmyadmin, I can't connect via 192.xx.xx.xx, only quick station. For a while I could connect by localip/phpmyadmin/index.php. Source: over 1 year ago

• Got an email from Thetypefounders regarding a font i'm using on my website, need advice

  I got an email from The Type Founders about a font that I'm using on my website, wich is made in format.com, using their available fonts. The email says I'm using a font on my website without license... I don't understand, I'm using one of the fonts that format lets you choose, so it would be more of a problem from format than from me right? I would like to get some help on this regard. Is this a normal situation... Source: over 1 year ago
