For my part, I've decided that my next project will probably be done in PureBasic/SpiderBasic, and that if I then feel the need for pure opensource goodness I'll port it Gambas.
That said, if one wants HyperCard on the Mac (or Windows) there's still LiveCode (though it gave up on opensource).
Author here. Let me first note that the site is 100% free, and requires no account to read anything. I only use the built-in Ghost blogging subscription for those who want it delivered to their email, but it is absolutely not necessary. That's the full and total extent of anything email related with the site. I have many readers who subscribe to the RSS feed, which is free and open and requires no email whatsoever.
I have been trying to get this unblocked for some time now. I've tried reporting it as a false positive, and so did the Ghost admins, through the Google safebrowsing report mechanism. I saw my blog listed on phishtank.net, but that site isn't accepting new accounts and I have to have an account to report a false positive.
Ghost admins recommended I use a custom subdomain, and it may come to that. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is very frustrating.
Thank you, that's great to know!
(I also found the method for reporting false positives to AdGuard, and hopefully that will get cleared up on their end one day.)
I'm so old ... I got a coding job in 1991. The boss asked if I had any experience in Visual Basic. I said no, but it just came out last week. It's hard to describe what a huge leap for mankind that was compared to QuickBasic.
It really was an incredible tool especially for RAD. One of my first "professional" gigs was in highschool porting an old CAD program written for VB-DOS over to VB 3.0. Sure as hell beat the landscaping work I did over the previous summer.
It's not dead. It's included with every copy of Desktop Excel and probably will be for 20 years. Press Alt-F11 and away you go (enable Developer tab first i guess?). Forms, SQL connectors, collections, alot of other stuff even XML parsing is in there somewhere if you dig around enough.
I mean it's like. not being developed anymore and not added to, and its a pain to have it deal with modern stuff like https but. yeah. its only mostly dead.
