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

Hi all, I've been trying to get my PB1400 to use (or in most cases, even recognize) a solid-state drive for a while now and after 2+ weeks and a lot spent on things that don't work, I'm out of ideas. Things I've tried (in almost every single combination possible): 1GB Compact Flash Cf...

Running it on MacOS 9, I found two bugs related to the Canvas and Timer code. Should be fixed now.

Prototype 1 is here! Sorry for the delay – I wanted to make sure it's at least somewhat usable before releasing it. In addition to the runtime itself, it comes with three example scripts you can use and edit with SimpleText. Launch the RetroScript app then select a script to run it. Please...

Great to see interest! I've managed to get it running on a PB1400 and might actually release a prototype later today / tomorrow. To clear things up and to answer a few questions: Maybe I've worded the initial post badly: the purpose of this is not to create a rapid development environment –...

Not familiar with HyperCard – but I do know it (a) didn't support a lot - including color graphics - without extensions (b) the syntax of HyperTalk(?) is extremely unique, which might be off-putting to some (including myself, to be honest) (c) it was more like a database with scripting rather...
