Have you seen Retool (https://retool.com)? It feels familiar to HyperCard / Visual Basic, but now in the cloud. I’ve used it and like it.

Relying on a SaaS today is not too bright.

LiveCode is also a SaaS, locked behind a subscription iirc.

Not so -- there is a starter plan at significantly reduced cost that has deployment restrictions, but with the standard plan you build your own standalones and they work forever.
