An Open Source Experiment

Hi,

I just released an open-source browser-based authoring environment called Stackadia. I love LiveCode but recently found I could create projects that included animation, 3d, and more that behaved pretty well using a combination of HTML/CSS/Javascript/TypeScript so thought I'd try my hand at combining things I liked about HyperCard, HyperStudio, LiveCode and other XTalk programs. I know this is a bit off-topic but thought you might be interested.

Why does it download a HTML file, why not just have it run on the web site?

Does this feature xTalk as the authoring language?

2. Stackadia Script Add sophisticated behavior with an approachable xTalk-inspired scripting language designed for readable, conversational code.

On the quick links page you can open directly in browser. The script language is pretty close to xtalk but I had different goals.

You could also publish this on the OpenXTalk forums.
