Anybody hear of PencilCase yet? According to their site, it’s “HyperCard
reimagined”. This seems to be specifically targeted at mobile apps, so LiveCode
still has some major advantages, but this does provide some interesting
features.
Thoughts?

LOL... but young man, you do know 'hyperTalk' and so 'hyperCard' as you use
'liveCode' !
Hmm this quite interesting.
Not knowing Hypercard how is this that re-imagined. I don't see any options
to use Hypercard Syntax as it states that you write code in Javascript...

My thought about that is that if you are trying to make a tool for “the rest of
us” to be able to program interesting apps, in 1987 it would be HyperCard, and
in 2014 it would be PencilCase. So, it’s reimagining the intent of the tool,
not the implementation.

to HyperCard. :)
Ah, the power the imagination...

Personally I think Hypercard reimagined is just a way to attract people
and has little basis in reality.
It may be quite a good thing; once it

That is why describing it as Hypercard Reimagined is naughty.
All the 'pencilCase' blurb is doing at the moment is 'talking a good job'...
late 2014 is a long wat away..
