After looking through the docs it has grown on me, even with the quirkiness of the Hypertalk-style syntax. Personally I tend to write stuff code-up (instead of template-down), which is a good match for React. But I can imagine using this with my daughter, who has learned to write some static HTML and this could be a fairly easy way to add some fun interactivity to those pages.

I wish there was something that could put it all together though. Replit and Glitch handle some of the editing and hosting, but not much else... no tools for content creation or asset management, only minimal linting, and not much help in tracing the rendered page back to the original source. Like moving towards that Hypercard experience of taking an element, flipping it over, and adding code to it. It's doable! But I haven't seen it done. Or at least I'd like to see something that's taken a few more steps in that direction...
