// What is HyperCard? (Short History Explanation)
Released by Apple in 1987, HyperCard was a revolutionary software tool created by Bill Atkinson. It combined a graphical interface with a simple scripting language called HyperTalk, allowing users to create interactive “stacks” of cards — essentially early multimedia applications.

HyperCard is often considered a precursor to the World Wide Web because of its use of linked cards, hypertext-style navigation, and user-created pathways through information. It became a beloved platform for educators, researchers, early software designers, and hobbyists. Many classic CD-ROM titles and early digital storytelling experiments were built in HyperCard.

Though Apple eventually discontinued it, HyperCard remains iconic — a foundational moment in user-friendly programming, hypermedia design, and interactive creativity. Original boxed editions are now sought-after collector’s items, especially when complete and functional.
