I was delighted for a time with the online version (TileStack, I believe), that would run old stacks online, but it is, alas, no more.

You can author new files for it on the desktop (using HTML5) and he’s beta testing an authoring environment inside the app.

It’s in the app store and free. There will be paid content available for in-app purchase and a mechanism for third-party authors to sell content.

Hypercard also let you create what were basic multimedia presentations and “e learning”–at one college, people were using it to run videodisks (remember those?) to help with writers’ workshops. Hypercard is the reason I understood Filemaker immediately when it came out, and it taught me the very fundamental database concepts that are still applicable today with SQL and even XML concepts. I never understood why it went away.
