If you like HyperCard, or are HyperCard-curious, I'd like to share an early build of my HyperCard player for modern macOS, "Stacks". It runs stacks natively: no emulator, sound (with MacinTalk speech synthesis!), period-accurate typography.
There's an in-app browser for the Internet Archive's HyperCard collection, so you can explore thousands of stacks and run them with one click.
Still early days with rough edges, but I'm having fun with it. Please report bugs!

Wow. I think the first programming gig I ever got paid for was a summer job to create a database UI on top of HyperCard. Would be fun to see that again. @halcyon@bitbang.social
