#grateful for Bill Atkinson and #HyperCard

HyperSchool is a HyperCard application for schools to do scheduling, attendance, and grades.

It includes thousands of lines of #HyperTalk code, plus some
C code to interface to a scantron machine and to do simulated annealing
before the user gets old.

I've migrated my account to this new instance in the hopes that more regular updates to the mastodon server will allow me to more fully access all of my mobile app's resources! I hope everyone successfully transferred over during the migration!
