There's so much love for HyperCard. I missed out on this, but it seems like it empowered people to make lots of small useful utilities. It somewhat seems similar in versatility to spreadsheets, but with a different utility.

For the people that were around for this, I'm curious what kind of modern tools captures this feeling for you?

I'm slightly younger, and I feel some nostalgic love for tools like Delphi/VB and Macromedia Flash. Imperfect tools, but they sparked creativity.

Our tools got so much better, but we lost something along the way.
