RetroChallenge announced the results of RC2024/10 and I'm honored to be among the winners. I entered with the WebCard project written in Interlisp, a NoteCards extension for visiting websites.

Thanks to the organizers, voters, and judges and congrats to all the entrants, especially @psychotimmy who won the Grand Prize.

RC2024/10 Results...Less than a Year Late!

With so many entries for RC2024/10 (a record, i'm sure!), and having already put in so much work during the month, I really let things slide...

In NoteCards a "tabletop card" is an arrangement of cards (hypertext nodes) on the screen, such as the 3 cards at the center.

A "guided tour" is a graph whose nodes are tabletop cards (table icons) and whose edges are links connecting the cards. You traverse a guided tour with the control panel at right and the result is a "slide show" of tabletops.

For more on tabletop cards and guided tours see:

Screenshot of the black and white desktop of a 1980s graphical workstation environment. The desktop has a gray background pattern and several windows with a white background and a title bar with white text on a black background. The windows display graph structures with nodes and links and other tools of a hypertext system.

A NoteCards "browser" is a type of card that shows a hypertext network as a graph structure, i.e. a graph view like in this example. The thumbnail at the top left corner lets you pan and scroll the graph.

At ACM #Hypertext @ht: Mark Anderson talking about spatial hypertext and its origins, also referring to Frank Halasz's #NoteCards. See his full paper “W(h)ither Spatial Hypertext?” at http://doi.org/10.1145/3720553.3746683

@interlisp ☝️ The NoteCards logo still looks cool. This is a frame from one of the above introductory videos on NoteCards, the hypermedia system developed in Interlisp at Xerox PARC.

#NoteCards #interlisp #retrocomputing #hypertext

A frame of a videotape that shows the logo of a 1980s hypertext system. On a solid blue background is a line drawing in white of the outlines of 8 index cards or GUI windows, laid out mostly at random on the left and upper areas of the frame. The outlines are linked with segments. The large white text "NoteCards" in a serif font is just below the middle of the frame and slightly to the right.
