I did a lot of stuff in Hyper Studio, which I would say was “inspired” by HyperCard but a lot more approachable (and sort of like supercharged PowerPoint). As a kid I got my feet wet in programming in its scripting language.
I don’t remember the details, but I read a comment somewhere that a small business, like a repair shop, created a custom application and has been using it for years.
There really isn’t anything like it now. It’s from a time when there were not a lot of applications out there any people had to DIY their own tools. Like a database for a repair shop. Now people have spreadsheets with tons of features or small niche apps. Then there are the big cloud apps like SaleForce and Quickbooks.
