We need more tools built for regular folks. We need more tools that don't come with the baggage of learning to code, of dealing with the open source community.
We need more tools that help people do things, rather than just tools that help coders code.
All the big open source projects tend to suffer from the same kind of feature creep. Or, not even feature creep. It's not that they end up too complex, it's that they start that way.
These aren't tools built for users, to make it easy for a user to make things. These are tools built for developers, to make it less painful to do the stuff they don't like doing.
That's fine, I guess, but that's not what made hypercard special.
But beyond calculating the volume of the nests of obscure birds, Hypercard could be used to stitch together applications that did pretty much anything.
Myst was built in Hypercard, for example. But so were hundreds of other games and programs by amateurs.
The point of hypercard was that it was accessible to people who were not developers. Anyone could reasonably build something with this tool.
Most people that I've spoken to about it said that it felt to them like the future.
that #lastboost ist so relatable
as it stands you can filter words (the button with the sliders in the home TL), but only things within the body of the post. it skips the cw description field right now, the place ppl are likely to describe the thing
@distelfliege ah, das ist nur die chatapp, die wir zum planen nehmen :> <3
@distelfliege @Jules ich bewunder deine Bilder ja immer so *-* tbh wurde dein instagram auch in der telegramgruppe gepostet weil so inspirierend. (nicht von mir, ha!) :>
@Jules @Pinkshrimps es gibt so grobe Pläne, sobald es schön ist in den Donauauen zu zelten, weil es dort eine Wiese gibt, wo man das für 2 Tage darf, und nur zu kochen und spazieren zu gehen, jz muss nur noch Wetter und Motivation passen eigentlich :s Aber unsere Telegramgruppe heißt "Kaffeekochen @ Donauauen" und ich finde, das ist schon ein guter Anfang :>
@Shutsumon yes, that's Clariel :/ I didn't even hate the book, i think it's just… not as good as the other ones, and not as good as it had the potential to be by far
@Jules @Pinkshrimps no, the cheapest fake that we could find, I think :) i don't have any comparison because i've never really cooked outdoors before i think, but i liked it :>
@Jules aaah 😻 @Pinkshrimps and I have a similar one and I am so excited for when the weather is nice enough to go camping :3
But seriously the fact that some libraries buy some of the books that you suggest (unless you suggest things that the library can't get, like I just did) is one of my favourite things ever
