Not modern, but the original in a browser via emulation: https://blog.archive.org/2017/08/11/hypercard-on-the-archive...

I'm still kind of awestruck by this. Hosting an OS inside a browser. It's great as a time capsule to perfectly see the past. But because it's an emulator, it would be difficult to add a more modern feature, like ViperCard's share-url-to-stack and save-stack-as-json.

How does it work? The http://hypercardonline.tk only accepts new uploads and a card archive is an iso file (https://archive.org/details/hypercard_twin-peaks) that the emulator can't seem to run.
