• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

• A Love Letter to Tinkerable Software

  As a young child with only the scarcest grasp of programming, I spent endless hours using ResEdit to crack open and customize every application on my mac. Every game and utility was filled with its own surprises; graphics I could edit, tables of strings to pore over, dialogs to rearrange, menus to customize, and so much more. I never had a manual, but everything was so straightforward and clear I learned... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Lua Carousel, create little programs on desktop or mobile devices

  If you want something like Shoes, perhaps try PySimpleGUI or Redlang's "view" dialect. If you want a drag-and-drop visual builder like HyperCard, you might like Decker: https://beyondloom.com/decker/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  Why not give Decker a spin? It's similar to HyperCard, but open source, runs nearly everywhere, and it's under active development: http://beyondloom.com/decker/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  Anytime Lua comes up I'm reminded of John Earnest's Lil scripting language[1]. It's inspired by Lua and Q, built for Decker[2] which is a re-imagined version of HyperCard. Generally though, I love lua for its embeddability and am extremely happy anytime I see someone chatting about integrating it. Modding and scripting in games was a tremendous motivation for me to dig more into programming and these approachable... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  For anyone looking for a modern alternative to Visual Basic, you might want to take a look at Xojo. Xojo's a rapid application development platform (both a language and an IDE) that you can use to develop desktop apps (for macOS, Windows, Linux), Web apps, mobile apps (for iOS and Android), as well as console apps. It's been around for more than 20 years, and some of you might remember it from back when it was... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Small Visual Basic

  I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it. You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with. Heck, it... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Do any of you code with/on steno?

  I have yet to get into actual programming, but when I do, it will probably be with the multi-platform programming environment called XoJo. Source: over 1 year ago

• Performance Improvements in .NET 6

  I've been using Xojo (https://xojo.com) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, just a happy customer. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
