Essentially that's where the line of disruption falls. Hypertext fiction, StorySpace, and the compelling design manifesto of Ted Nelson including backlinks and multi-destination links, transclusion, and micropayments. Glorious plan fails in day one of implementation by out group.

it's crazy how hypercard and storyspace were both made in 1987 and tbl hadn't even finished his prototype by the time adams made that documentary

Reimplementing the web doesn't sound like such a bad idea some days!
But going back to the original post, the issue there is the software (Storyspace) is not only obsolete but also proprietary, and the developer hasn't encouraged reverse-engineering it.

I'ma follow dotdave I like the pixels. Do you know pixelcad? There are a lot of pixelcad artists in that thing we don't discuss, similar aesthetic. I am a bit aware from class of the kinds of artists/technologists who make software for other artists, Casey Reas and Miller Puckett, Storyspace...

That’s good to know. I believe the piece runs on Storyspace. I’m not sure what the replacement computer’s specs are, but it’s encouraging to know other systems can potentially be used🤞

i do not have a good mental inventory of pre-web hypermedia systems but i've used both hypercard and storyspace and my assessment is they are much *denser* than the web (at least out of the box)

This is very important. In our computing art histories, there are traditions of artists who use tools, artists who make their own tools, and artists who make tools for others (like Storyspace, Processing, PD etc...)

#writesky #cozyfantasy I've spent so much time with the cats in the city in storyspace that I haven't figured out what the camels' gossip is.

yeah stuff like scrivener and storyspace/tinderbox; those have been around for-eeeever, imo they kinda predate exchangeable structured data and while i'm sure they could be retrofitted my inclination would be to start clean

Argh! I used to maintain a 2009 Windows XP netbook purely to demo Storyspace works until I finally put together a Windows 2000 virtual machine on my system. Said netbook still runs too!
