Is there a web application equivalent of Hypercard? [closed]

Tags:

hypercard

Recently, I found an interesting Wiki/CMS/Database hybrid called Wagn, where the most important unit of information is the 'Card'. That terminology immediately made me think of Hypercard. As expected, there is some "Hypercard-ness" in that application.

Do you know of other web applications/frameworks with that "Hypercard-ness" thing, or if its successor still must be invented?

Note: I insist on web applications because I already know the desktop ones.

Check out Runtime Revolution at http://www.runrev.com they have a language/IDE that is the spiritual successor to HyperCard. They also have a product in beta called RevWeb which is a plugin not unlike Flash that is able to execute stacks.

Now more on the web framework front, checkout Rodeo at http://alltiera.com/ which is a HyperCard like web application that generates HTML/CSS/JS stuff for you.

I am a customer of Runtime Revolution but I haven't used Rodeo so I can only help with building web applications using RevTalk (like HyperTalk) and not with Rodeo.

There was http://tilestack.com for a while. Sadly it closed down again. It even imported HyperCard stacks.
