I've been under the impression that Hypercard was superseded by Tim Berners-Lee and his World Wide Web. I'm old enough to have used Hypercard in the early days. The author calls HTML/JS/CSS a shit soup, but it can be as simple as Hypercard with the advantage that it reaches across machines through the network.
