  Runtime Revolution/Livecode spun out after going opensource and is now closed source: https://livecode.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Now, NiceGUI has a build-in persistent user/session based storage.

  But I’m used to working in a different language that has a built-in interactive GUI — https://livecode.com so my usual development plan is:. Source: 11 months ago

• CardStock

  Let's not forget that runtime revolution, now called Livecode (https://livecode.com/) still exists and is likely the functional, modern successor to HyperCard. Hypercard Stacks as far as I remember work out of the box too. Historically there was HyperCard, then cross-platform Metacard, which eventually became Runtime Revolution, which apparently is now renamed Livecode!

• Hypercard got its Color Back

  There are several options.
