@doam @saltyhorse There have certainly been _attempts_, but all of them have failed to get past the 1988 bar, in my opinion.

@doam@saltyhorse Calling "Twine" an advancement is truly bizarre. Hypercard has been around since 1987.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@cmuratori@doam@saltyhorse a UI that opens up a space for thousands of new creators is worth considering an advance.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@vectorpoem@doam@saltyhorse At best, it was simply a re-opening. HyperCard had already done this in the late 80s.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@vectorpoem@doam@saltyhorse And it _was_ usable by everyone. That was why it was so popular. Anyone could make a Twine-like thing.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@vectorpoem@doam@saltyhorse And it was a lot better than Twine. For example, _Myst_ was made in Hypercard.4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori So it does come down to definition of advancement, which I'm realizing is kind of a Rorscach blot for people.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

@vectorpoem I guess I don't even see it as an significant advancement in usability, though? It's just that HyperCard wasn't there.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@vectorpoem Like, can you call something an advancement if you just make something you already had but they lost?
