> I thought the whole point of HyperCard is that the editor is the live app, that live apps can flip into editor mode at any time, and you THE USER can edit them live That may have been the initial point of HyperCard, but what really propelled HyperCard to greatness was the intentional breaking of that model. I.E. adding "locked" status to HyperCard stacks so that people couldn't (easily) modify them, they could only run them. HyperCard would have been a footnote in history if it hadn't been for that flag. Nobody would have handed stacks to end users if they were a few clicks away from deleting buttons or reordering pages or something (causing frustrated users to complain that the "application" was broken). |
