I saw their small ad in MacWorld and was very interested. Will be
great to see how they fare in the marketplace!

So, while visiting Macworld San Francisco this week, I chanced upon
a small
booth that had the word "HyperCard" in the description. I was
prepared to
dismiss whatever goofball developments the guys there were showing,
but
after talking to them for a while, I think they have an interesting
take on
x-talk (for them it's HyperTalk). Called "TileStack", their
intention is to
create a HyperCard-type development environment, but starting from
the Web
side using Javascript libraries and server-based logic, instead of
starting
from the desktop side. All coding will use the HyperTalk (TileTalk?)
language and if I recall correctly, the initial IDE will be a Web-
based
front end.
The interesting possibility about this is that, if it is ever
released,
stacks will be immediately sharable by a much larger audience than x-
talk
tools which require players/standalones (I believe only Javascript
is needed
to run a stack, thus the potential for delivery could be equal to or
maybe
even greater than Flash, which requires a player). Obviously, there
are a
lot of questions to be answered, and it wasn't clear to me how far
along
they are, but they have a simple puzzle demo on their site and they
are
collecting email addresses of interested parties for early access.
