Paolo AmorosoThe influential hypermedia system NoteCards, which provided inspiration to other such systems in the 1980s and later. Here it is running in the cloud under Medley Interlisp in an online session on my Chromebox.
River City Random ☑️@amoroso Is this a Xerox PARC thing? Wow, what didn't they invent that Apple and Microsoft would come along and later steal?
@rivercityrandom Yes, it's the NoteCards system developed at Xerox PARC:

It's running in Medley Interlisp:
You can try it online here:
NicholasRJust imagine where we would be at now if all this was released under an #OpenSource license back then 🤔
@nicholasr @rivercityrandom Xerox also ran a sort proto open source project, the LispUsers archive of user-contributed software.

@amoroso I didn't mean online. I meant maiko/medley on a "normal" computer, offline.
@alexshendi Ah okay, here are the instructions (assuming Linux as it's the only one I'm familiar with):
1. install Medley for your operating system https://interlisp.org/running
2. from the shell, run: medley -a -e -n &
3. under ACTIVATE FEATURES, click NOTECARDS
4. click DEMO.NOTEFILE;1
5. click Open
Ah, ok. Looks feasible. Thanks a lot.
@alexshendi You're welcome, let me know if you need further help with Medley.
dragfyre@amoroso Looked like #HyperCard in the thumbnail, makes sense that there would be a connection. What system did this originally run on?
Yiming Wu ✅ Use OurPaint@amoroso Looks lovely
@chengdulittlea Right, it has the clean elegance of a sheet of printed paper.
Bruno Winck@brunowinck Interesting comparison.
