• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  I think you and your kid would have fun designing a Choose Your Own Adventure game in Twine. https://twinery.org/ FWIW, there are a bunch of simple modern GUI builders, including GUI builders for the web, but none of them are popular, due to the sweet spot of supply and demand that Hypercard hit.
