  Oh this is SO cool. Personally I've been doing a janky version of this on my iPad with the incredible Infinite Mac [1], but I wish there was something more native for it (or at least more Infinite Mac affordances for this type of use case).

    How I wish I could spend my day at work tooling around in HyperCard.

    I miss 90s computing; my favorite workstation before everything changed was my SparcStation 5 running System 7.5 under MAE.

  So, is there a TestFlight or do TF apps also need to adhere to the same rules as AppStore apps? (I.e. no emulation)

    Internal TF builds have no review, but can only go to 100 people who are in your developer account.

    External builds can go to 10,000 people by invitation, but have a review.
