• 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

• What software do you use to make presentations?

• Looking for ideas on building an interactive intake form

  At my job we have sales members that represent certain products and our reception team takes our buyers through a series of questions to get them to the right sales team member. They aren't hard questions and the process can easily be built as a matrix that spits out a meeting link. I'm a little lost on how to actually build this out and am looking for ideas on ways we can use Hubspot tools (I'm open to other... Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there a FOSS offering remotely as good as PowerPoint?

  RevealJS is pretty awesome. It is kind of designed for developers though. https://slides.com/ is a paid/hosted version of it. Source: over 1 year ago
