I enjoy revisiting this demo from time to time, because it reminds me of how fun Hypercard was.

As much as I enjoy developing modern web apps using React etc., I can't help but feeling that we're kind of like cavemen assembling things out of sticks and stones when you look at what was possible in Hypercard 30 years ago.

I used to sell computers at a local Apple dealership back in the day, and I loved HyperCard and sowed it off in all my demos. I was so disappointed in Apple when they cancelled it. I just couldn’t understand Apple’s decision! Even now, I wish Apple would find a way to bring it back :-)
