On a thread reminiscing about Hypercard, the only comment down-voted is the one that points to a superset of Hypercard that runs on Windows, OSX and Linux and that can also produce apps that run on iOS and Android.
Wow, that's great. I wrote a printed circuit layout program in SuperCard. You basically drew your program in the card layout editor using a few allowed shapes, and it just looped through all of the shapes on the card and translated them to Gerber files. The color identified top or bottom copper. When I got my first boards back from the fab, and they were actually what I designed, I nearly fell over.
Power Apps in Office365 are darned close. I never had a deep experience with HyperCard, so I'd actually love to hear folks with deeper experience contrast the two.
Except that you do not own it and apps may disappear. We can still run hypercard stacks many decades later... I doubt we will be able to run actual power apps in 15 years.
