Introducing the AppleWideWeb!

Most of you may already know that was a big influence on Tim Berners-Lee when he created the WWW. We are told that HyperCard missed its chance since it wasn't networked. Without support for connecting up a global network of HyperCard Stacks, it had no chance against the WWW.

Well that was then and this is now. In 2024 we DO have a global AppleTalk network to publish HyperCard Stacks on - ! The dream is finally a reality!

The GlobalTalk Chat Stack 0.2.0 is released! The preferred HyperCard-based multi-user chat system for the network.

I've added text escaping courtesy of @uliwitness so you can now type quotation marks without breaking it!

I've also made usernames bold in the chat log, and added a "emoji" feature where you can tack a single character from Susan Kare's classic Taliesin or Cairo fonts to a message.
