• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  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 2 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  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 / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  +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

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  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

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  This ! Learning to code will come after, spending time with your son writing down ideas might be more fun at first and it's a good time to teach him that games are thoughts first and then coded after. I would have recommended Scratch [1] for a first introduction instead of hoping into code right away, but since he is 9yo he will most likely want to hop on big game engine like he sees his favorite youtubers doing.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Betula – federated bookmarking software for the independent web

  You're nearly there my friend: bookmarks should be centered around content and not around links. I've written a lot about this, and I got so annoyed with bookmarking and highlighting services getting it so frustratingly wrong[1] that I wrote my own solution from the ground up in 2020[2], and I have never looked back to Pinboard, Instapaper or Readwise.

• Creating a Safari webarchive from the command line

  > Pretty useful for archiving discussions on Reddit. What I do now is save the comments within the discussions (on HN, Reddit, Twitter etc) as text which is indexable and searchable with additional metadata which helps for filtering (author is the main one I use), while automatically archiving the entire URLs associated with them.[1] For me, this is the best of both worlds - quick access via fault-tolerant search... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• Ask HN: What hair on fire problem are you willing to pay for right now?

  Https://notado.app has had support for Tweets and multiple other types of UGC (like comments! From everywhere!) for a long time now. I am the main developer and you can look at my comment history here for more details on the philosophy behind the project. You can also check out some of my feeds of saved content[1] to get an idea of the breadth of support for UGC. There are some articles available too if you don't... - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking

  Your initial want is pretty close to I ended up creating for myself for all things text-based with https://notado.app. I ended up ditching my old stuff in Instapaper, Readwise and Pinboard back in 2020ish because it didn't really fit the data model[1] (content-first rather than link-first) and since then I'm very happy with how everything is organized and shareable in Notado. I still think it's possible to go... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
