I found myself in an elevator with Mister Rogers. He looked at me and said "Make it good" when I was getting out.

Hi Scott! Thanks for the invite! Sorry, Pontus and I are both traveling right now (I'm on vacation with family). I haven't been on social media much. We'd love to talk to you. Can we DM you later in the summer?

Yes, I made the app for myself, and so it was never a commercial product or full-time effort. Anki did start to take over that space, and there's continued innovation there, namely github.com/open-spaced-.... Have you thought of making Genius into an alternative front-end for Anki?

Oh wow!! 😲 This is amazing. Just goes to show, software never dies :)
(Also the quality of the code is terrible so please don't look at it, but maybe Claude could rewrite it! :)

Decades later, there's still a lot of love for HyperCard out there. Why might that be?

Sorry, the sync server went down yesterday (config mistake on my part) but it's back up as of this morning. Which issues are you seeing?
