🪨 HyperCard on the Macintosh 🛠️
The "software erector set" that launched careers and an entire industry, and came tantalizingly close to delivering us the world wide web 6 years early. Our last post of 2025 takes a deep look at this important title. I also muse a bit on the approach HyperCard takes in extending the definition of what it means to develop software. Happy holidays!

Well hot dog! Even though I promised myself no new projects until I finish what’s on my bench, I could not pass up an M0001 Macintosh with keyboard, mouse, external floppy, and a box of disks.
I will need to trim a machine from my shelves to make room for this, but it will be worth it.

For those not following #m68kMicroPython development, a lot has been happening rather quickly in the last couple of weeks!
There's enough support for the Toolbox now that I've been able to re-create the #Macstodon splash/loading screen with it - see below.
Big thanks to @stylus for all his hard work developing the port and making this possible!

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.
Download link (Mac, Windows, Linux): https://snowemu.com
Documentation link: https://docs.snowemu.com
Source link: https://github.com/twvd/snow
Release announcement: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12509
(Edit: I'm not the author - just spotted this on the Emaculation forum and had to share it!)
(Edit #2: Snow's author, Thomas “twvd" has joined the Fediverse now! Give him a follow at @twvd 👋)

After a year of working on and off on my MacPaint geisha cross-stitch, it’s done!
32,475 stitches. Nearly 1,000 feet of black thread. The final art is about 19” x 12”- 22 stitches per inch is as small as I can work 🙂
