I'm a software erector set that brought HyperText to the masses and got many a start in programming.

This is my own built-in color editor: It was a completely separate "color-adding mode" and just overpainted white areas of a card with colored pixels or pictures, it didn't actually make buttons or text have color. Though color would "follow around" a button or field when moved.

Some people didn't like my color editor. But color was not built in, so a company just created and sold their own editor with the features they were missing, like Bill Basaraba's ColorPaint Tools Pro:

HyperTalk has nearly no reserved words. You can use variables named the same as common commands and they will just work: github.com/kreativekorp/open…

Double-XX was a stack (and XCMDs) that let you make your HyperCard stacks smaller and faster by compiling them into a small application that ran XCMDs. If you had CompileIt! you could write these XCMDs in HyperTalk.

Won't have much luck running me without a Home Stack though. And my three Help stacks and clip art etc. were all separate as well. As was the Stack Translator for saving standalones and the button tasks for linking cards etc. And I contain lots of resources.
