LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCode?wprov=sfti1 That said, I think Scratch is a better learning environment these days and you can develop workable apps in the style of HyperCard. There are plenty of tutorials, documentation, and examples to work from. https://scratch.mit.edu. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
+1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua. Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music. https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I am also going to highly recommend Scratch[1]. That is what got me into a programming around that age. You can even help him make a website to host his games on. [1]: https://scratch.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

#1: iFixit is now available for offline use #2: Internet-in-a-Box - an Offline copy of the best of the Internet (Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, Khan Academy, Stack Exchange, ETC) | 2 comments #3: Where There Is No Doctor - a village health care handbook | 2 comments. Source: 12 months ago
IMO the best use case is https://internet-in-a-box.org/. You download a bunch of stuff like Wikipedia, videos, books, etc, and any device with WiFi can access them. Much better than relying on something like a laptop or old phone with all of these resources on them. Get a couple of Raspberry Pi's and some SD cards and you can clone them all and have lots of backups. They are small and use little power so you can... Source: 12 months ago
