I don't see any commits on the main branch since March of 2020 (😬) but it is amazing that someone has put this much effort into a recreation that is both faithful (it has a literal hypercard stack importer) and modern (it doesn't visually look like a retrocomputing exercise).

@glyph this is pretty awesome. Is there something that fills that niche right now? For all the "nocode" stuff I've heard about I don't think I've seen anything very compelling.

@smallsco I got all excited thinking maybe it was written in Python since the post was from @glyph ! I suppose that's unlikely given the sincere native UI requirements.

Hopefully someone can pick up where @uliwitness left off and build an end user usable system!

I'd love to contribute myself but I just can't figure out XCode with my accessibility issues. I can enlarge the font in the editor but the UI elements are still TEENY TINY and no amount of wanting to learn MacOS/IOS development is worth a screaming eyestrain headache :)

@glyph I basically did a rewrite, which is in a different repository, but still very much working on it.
