The HyperCard 3.0 that Apple never shipped.
WildCard is an open-source, web-based reimagining of HyperCard — the legendary hypermedia tool created by Bill Atkinson in 1987. Build interactive stories, games, flashcards, prototypes, and more using cards, buttons, paint tools, and WildTalk — an English-like scripting language.
