Ah, that'll be useful. The hardest thing about adding a new project to my site is finding a new HyperCard/System 6 icon. https://mk.gg/

HyperCard was definitely my first taste of what would become my career in web software development.

I wasn't a Mac user at home, but school had them and I absolutely loved what I could create with HyperCard, there was nothing like it on Windows.

I also recall switching to SuperCard simply for the COLOR support, what a time.
