In my early programming years, I went from BASIC to HyperCard, then learned C when I couldn't make HyperCard do everything I wanted. Plenty of folks have pointed out how the lack of native support for color doomed HyperCard. But I think it was really over when the web got started and replaced everything in the "personal content" space from underneath, so I decided to see if the idea of HyperCard would work as a web app. There are some missing pieces -- it's not perfectly compatible. You can, however, make stacks online and let others see them. Free, no ads, no personal information, you are…

Hi HN, I’m Felipe, a 9-5 developer aiming to become a full-time indie hacker. I struggled with flashcard apps that focus on decorating cards instead of learning concepts, so I built FlipCards to solve that problem.

FlipCards uses variations to…

What it does Design UIs visually with a flexible canvas –like Figma–. Define app logic with a visual, instruction-stacked editor inspired by Shortcuts. Live preview apps directly on the canvas –no separate preview window–. Publish working web apps with one click. Why we made it Modernize the HyperCard idea: combine layout, behavior, and instant sharing in one place. Reduce friction…
