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 wholesale slaughter of indiginous people, the mass enslavement of people from another continent, and along the way poisons half the land with toxic waste.

They're both also stuck in the "golden" 1970s, and is without the subsequent stages that contain bureaucrats, politicians, mafioso, tech oligarcs and demagogues, which pretty much reduces the prior stages to proles, subscribers or fodder.

As Adobe continue to enshittify their products, to public disgust, they're more profitable than ever, I'm not sure if these cutesy "Townspeople" metaphors mean anything at all.

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 = gq .from("Tags") .select(["ID","Name"]) .where((row) => row.ID == 12) // you can use > or < etc .get(); JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }

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 on idle commands. And it does colour!

Don't expect too much, but making this was fun and I'm now going to make a few stacks with it.
