hypercard

HyperCard was an early software tool developed by Apple in the late 1980s that allowed users to create interactive digital "cards" linked together, similar to a digital scrapbook or presentation. Users could embed text, images, sounds, and buttons to navigate between cards, making it easy to design multimedia applications without extensive programming knowledge. It was widely used for education, multimedia projects, and prototypes, pioneering concepts now common in web development and multimedia authoring tools. HyperCard's intuitive "stack" interface made creating and sharing interactive content accessible, influential, and a precursor to modern hypertext and multimedia environments.
