DynaBook Junior (DBJr) is an end-user authoring system in the tradition of HyperCard, SuperCard, and Visual Basic. If you remember HyperCard, you will recognize the concept of a page, a background, and a stack. Load this page in Chrome:

DBJr lets you store information freeform without the restrictions of a database. You customize the action of a button by writing a script. It is even possible to make games and other mini-applications.

The world has a demo stack that explains DBJr.  You can make a new stack with
$world.get("Stack").demo()

From that stack, you can use the user interface to add and delete pages, drop in morphs of any kind, and move morphs to the background.

I built DBJr originally in Squeak, and ported it to Lively Kernel. Many thanks to the Liver Kernel team.
