Gregory's ServerThe influential hypermedia system NoteCards, which provided inspiration to other such systems in the 1980s and later. Here it is running in the cloud under Medley Interlisp in an online session on my Chromebox.

@rivercityrandom Yes, it's the NoteCards system developed at Xerox PARC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoteCards It's running in Medley Interlisp: You can try it online here: Just imagine where we would be at now if all this was released under an #OpenSource license back then 🤔 @nicholasr @rivercityrandom Xerox also ran a sort proto open source project, the LispUsers archive of user-contributed software.  @alexshendi Sure, here goes: 1. visit https://online.interlisp.org/user/login  @amoroso I didn't mean online. I meant maiko/medley on a "normal" computer, offline. @alexshendi Ah okay, here are the instructions (assuming Linux as it's the only one I'm familiar with): 1. install Medley for your operating system https://interlisp.org/running  @amoroso Looked like #HyperCard in the thumbnail, makes sense that there would be a connection. What system did this originally run on? @dragfyre It makes sense as it was among the inspirations of HyperCard. NoteCards originally run on the Xerox D-series 11xx Lisp Machines such as the Daybreak:   @amoroso I've had lots of fun messing around with it! Thanks for the interlisp braincons |
@amoroso Is this a Xerox PARC thing? Wow, what didn't they invent that Apple and Microsoft would come along and later steal?
