There's something naive about all this, as if the entire metaphor is a somehow laudable, benign or 'natural' process tied up with Americans' origin story - but some omits the whole…

You can do this with GQuery. It's really good (no affiliation). /* Uses: https://github.com/FCPS-TSSC/GQuery */ function exampleQuery1() { const gq = new GQuery(); const result = g…

One rainy afternoon, armed with Gemini AI, I wondered how far I could get "making" a web version of HyperCard. The HyperCOD(e) version is limited, but you can go next card, and run…

30 years experience of coding and development with degree in Sculpture. After 4 or 5 years as an artist... * Hypercard/Director/Photoshop based Multimedia * AppleScript/Filemaker *…

I was once at a coding conference (Prograph CPX now you ask) and there was a coding competition. Who could create a usable To Do List App in one hour. About six people took part. A…

Other non-linear music-making tool options include * BespokeSynth - make music with flow diagrams * Orca - make music with shimmering conway worlds * Sonic Pi - make music with cod…

Yeah... one might use Sonic to load a csv and generate sounds based on your data, that might then be used as static assets in their app. I recently helped a tutor using BespokeSynt…

I came here to say the same thing exactly. Tufte books are very visual (and expensive - see if you can find a copy of any of his books, changed my life). You can just dip in. Norma…

Gdevelop might be described as a low code platform as it's language is visual (like Scratch on acid). It already has "Generate a game with AI" built in. It's not very good. What ma…

Hi, I've probably mentioned this a few times on here, but Prograph was a GREAT example of a visual language, that solved a LOT of issues (spaghetti code) etc. It's worth a look if …

This really isn't crowing but we created a dynamic site that used HyperCard as a CGI and we did that in 1984. Not kidding. Mosaic'd up to the hilt. Still, it's a good idea. You can…

I was a HyperCarder too. I would say the answer is none of the below/above... GDevelop is an app for making games. Your son will love it. It has a very cute visual programming lang…

Came here to recommend GDevelop too. I taught my 10 year old GDevelop and she preferred it to p5js (Javascript programming) and it's a lot more powerful than Scratch coding. (but i…

I'm not really a game maker, but would like to give a shout out to the fabulous https://gdevelop.io/ It has everything you need, is free and its VISUAL PROGRAMMING is fab...

I came here to recommend these exact three life changing authors. Bonus items Don't Make Me Think - Steve Krug Information Architecture - Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville

I teach creative coding and maintain a site that has a list of creative tools (graphics, music, coding, writing, game-making) that are mainly free, and web-based. You can filter th…

The text is bloody almost invisible which is so bloody annoying. A blacker font? Or a better or bigger one perhaps? Or is it just the colour? The notes are not linked to the text e…

EXACTLY! Back in the days when "small pieces loosely joined" was a thing, I thought Delicious was very, very cool. (I use Diigo (free) now which is the closest I could find to Deli…

I'd say one reason. It's an absolute nightmare for the regular end user to handle relational data in a spreadsheet. I've tried a lot of those below (you missed of AppSheet from Goo…
