    For the #DWIM feature (›Do What I Mean‹) of #Interlisp, see the Interlisp-D Manual, page 393 and following of this PDF:

    larrymasinter.net/86-interlisp

    I think there were also several scientific articles published on the topic, presumably in these journals:

    t.me/FamilyOfLisp/9

  3. @schrofi Functionality like this existed in some #Lisp implementations, notably #Interlisp which ran on Xerox Lisp Machines. However, it was called “do what I mean” or #DWIM:

  5. What helped me deliver my RetroChallgence 2024 project on time? Prior experience with the Interlisp API of NoteCards and the nature of Lisp and Lisp systems.

  6. RetroChallenge announced the results of RC2024/10 and I'm honored to be among the winners. I entered with the WebCard project written in Interlisp, a NoteCards extension for visiting websites.

    Thanks to the organizers, voters, and judges and congrats to all the entrants, especially @psychotimmy who won the Grand Prize.

  7. At ACM #Hypertext @ht: Mark Anderson talking about spatial hypertext and its origins, also referring to Frank Halasz's #NoteCards. See his full paper “W(h)ither Spatial Hypertext?” at doi.org/10.1145/3720553.3746683

  8. I'm working on a WebCard demo notefile with examples of web links filed into various types of cards.

  9. WebCard is not a large system but I documented it anyway, explaining the few things it adds to or differs from NoteCards.

  10. A sneak peek at the bitmap I designed for WebCard cards of type Web, here open in the Medley Interlisp bitmap editor. The bitmap at the actual size is near the top left corner whereas the magnified view takes up most of the window.

    The bitmap represents a card at the center of which is a globe with meridians and parallels.

  11. I'm considering the next steps to conclude the work on WebCard project for the RetroChallenge 2024.

  12. Since I need to import a bitmap in Medley for WebCard I'm researching some image conversion tools.

  13. WebCard now does some basic housekeeping of visited URLs. This reduces web browser tab clutter and keeps unintentional link traversals under control.

  14. I finally fixed a URL validation bug of WebCard, which turned out to be just a typo in a clause of an Interlisp iterative statement.

  15. WebCard cards of type Web are stand ins for WWW websites. So I changed the code to make the text of such cards read only and refactored the text updating code.

  16. I added two items to the title bar menu of WebCard cards, one for visiting and the other for editing the URL associated with a card.
