If anyone's interested, there's an active HyperCard community with some fun projects. There's a Discord server, too. https://hypercard.org/
(I found that community through the Avara community, a port of the classic Mac multiplayer networked mech shooter from Ambrosia: https://github.com/avaraline/Avara)
