Recently, I found an interesting Wiki/CMS/Database hybrid called Wagn, where the most important unit of information is the ‘Card’. That terminology immediately made me think of Hypercard. As expected, there is some “Hypercard-ness” in that application.

Do you know of other web applications/frameworks with that “Hypercard-ness” thing, or if its successor still must be invented?

Note: I insist on web applications because I already know the desktop ones.

    I have found that quote from Dan Ingalls in the book “Coders At Work” (p.382):

    “A decade or two ago there was Hypercard […] It’s really strange that that whole experience didn’t naturally go right into the web. I think there’s still a role to be filled there with tools as simple as HyperCard and as immediate as the web. It would be cool if it went that way.”.

    If one of the inventor of Smalltalk is asking that question too, I’m almost sure that there is no valid answers…

    Anyone interested in inventing that future?
