Hi Ingar, Since last year, I am using Livecode in Mac, Linux and Windows (and running stacks on Android 2.3 and 4.0.1).
Previously, I have run Livecode only on windows, much later on linux, then on android and only since last year on mac osx. (ios and raspberry pi are in my plans too) Livecode is similar and very different in each one of these platforms. Recreating the HyperCard interface on top of Livecode should be very straightforward and some developers have done this previously, but if you want an estimate of the cost of recreating the HyperCard experience using Livecode, your best choice is to ask RunRev themselves. Notice please, I do not consider HyperCard just an interface but an experience. The experience of using the capabilities of your computer in an easy and human-friendly way. How could you offer the same experience in the year 2019? The answer is different and unique for each operating system in which Livecode runs. For Mac developers, they only have one platform to work. For this reason HyperCard was really extraordinary. In my desk, I have a PowerMac 7500 and running HyperCard is a joy. Today anyone could run HyperCard in their web browser visiting Archive.org : (HyperCard is inside the disk that you could see in the desktop) https://archive.org/details/AppleMacintoshSystem753 So, tell me if I am wrong if I understand yourrequest as this question: How could we recreate the HyperCard experience in different Operating Systems using Livecode?
