No, I am open to feedback (hence the 180 on centralization/making it an open system) but I was expecting that feedback to revolve around content, moderation, etc, perhaps. Not "why would anyone use something on a vintage Mac?" on a vintage Mac forum, that's the puzzling part. :D I don't think...

To be frank, I am struggling to understand why accessibility seems to be such a must for everyone - this is a forum about vintage Macs, after all - why would I develop something that runs on modern computers or even PCs? – and why would I announce/discuss it here of all the places? :D I want to...

If we can divide content to "exclusive" and "non-exclusive": Non-Exclusive is pretty much possible - weather from NOAA, news from NewsAPI, maybe some flight information via AviationStack. Would be updated 24/7 - only thing stopping that is cost. Exclusive-content – services, games, etc. -...

I think it's clear this project is not of any interest to you, which is completely fine. =) What you’re looking for already seems to exist as you've said.

I agree Wallstreet probably has the best PB keyboard - but beware/be careful, the screen hinges of Wallstreets are notoriously easy to break!

Yep! 😅 I think you have a great point here - not only in terms of technology (graphical? plaintext only?) but perhaps even in terms of content too (do you want Mac-only – or at least Mac-focused – content or something more general?) or even the platform (as @luRaichu asked before you) My...

I guess a web-based interface can be done until Clapkit is at least Carbonized. I was thinking it might be good for those: who want an ad-and-AI-free, curated content and a small community want a use for an old Mac that's collecting dust (why not read the news and chat on that today instead of...

I get that - but that's to prevent 'non-content content'.. To be honest, nothing annoys me more than going to any 'small-web' service, see all the usernames/URLs just to realize 90% of them are "I'm just setting this up to grab the URL, I'll add content later (Last Modified: 2 years ago)" - plus...

Oh and before anyone asks "why not just create a HTML 2.x website" - it honestly is easier to write this than to deal with that if you want the level of interactivity and performance I want. (I've tried, old browsers are way worse than you could remember, believe me.)

I've been thinking about this idea for a while - in fact I had written quite a lot of code for it - but I want to make sure there is at least some interest before I spend even more time and effort on it. Would you be interested in a 'walled-garden' AOL/eWorld/CompuServe/Prodigy/etc. like...

Thank you all! Even though writing code should be way faster for you, right now I'm just trying to get everything up and running so it's actually extremely inefficient runtime-wise, sometimes recreating/redrawing stuff multiple times even. (e.g. radioboxes with groups) - once most things are in...

This is something I've working on for a while and since I am running out of steam, I thought posting it here might help to at least give me a boost if there is interest. Clapkit ("CLassic APplication KIT") is a C++ wrapper for Macintosh Toolbox functions, allowing development using Retro68...

Update: SD-to-ATA that @LaPorta suggested works perfectly, though I had to first boot from a Mac OS 9 CD to format it then switched back to Mac OS 7.6 CD to install 7. (Disk Utility on 7.6 hangs/crashes while formatting for some reason) Once again, thanks all!

Thanks all - I bought the SD adapter (I guess another $15 can't hurt after all this money spent) I'll try that as a last resort if SD adapter also fails, thank you for the suggestion!

Which brand adapter and SD card are you using? I just know I'll manage to find and buy the only brand that doesn't work without that info :P
