Oh this is SO cool. Personally I've been doing a janky version of this on my iPad with the incredible Infinite Mac [1], but I wish there was something more native for it (or at least more Infinite Mac affordances for this type of use case).

[1]: Zero to HyperCard in 20 seconds: https://infinitemac.org/1998/Mac%20OS%208.1

frumplestlatz•5mo ago

How I wish I could spend my day at work tooling around in HyperCard.

I miss 90s computing; my favorite workstation before everything changed was my SparcStation 5 running System 7.5 under MAE.

wkjagt•5mo ago

I miss it too. I just bought a 90s laptop, and put Windows 98 on it. And Borland C++. I'm sure a good part of it is nostalgia, but there just was something special about computers back then that I miss today.

So, is there a TestFlight or do TF apps also need to adhere to the same rules as AppStore apps? (I.e. no emulation)

wrs•5mo ago

Internal TF builds have no review, but can only go to 100 people who are in your developer account.

External builds can go to 10,000 people by invitation, but have a review.

roboror•5mo ago

Emulation is now allowed on the app store

thejazzman•5mo ago

but the JIT that makes them performant is not

roboror•5mo ago

It's extra steps but you can enable JIT with stikdebug on the app store

"But can it run KidPix?"

doubled112•5mo ago

Oh no!

I can still hear the tools in my head whenever somebody says KidPix.

alexpc201•5mo ago

What I’d like to use is an app just like MacPaint on the iPad, I haven’t seen anything even similar.
