Is there a Hypercard web app equivalent?

I recently found an interesting Wiki / CMS / Database hybrid called Wagn, where the most important unit of information is Card. This terminology immediately made me think about Hypercard. As expected, there is "Hypercard-ness" in this application.

Do you know about other web applications / frameworks with this “hyper-card” or if its successor should still be invented?

Note. I insist on web applications because I already know desktop ones.

I found this quote from Dan Ingalls in Coders at Work (p. 382):

“Ten or two ago Hypercard appeared [...] It’s strange that all this experience, of course, didn’t go directly to the network. I think that there is still a role that needs to be filled with tools that are as simple as HyperCard and also fast as on the Internet. It would be great if that were the case. "

If one of the Smalltalk authors also asks this question, I'm pretty sure there are no valid answers ...

Anyone interested in inventing this future?

Check out the Runtime Revolution at http://www.runrev.com they have a language / environment that is the spiritual successor to HyperCard. They also have a product in beta version of RevWeb, which is a plugin that is not like Flash, capable of stacking.

Now more on a web framework, check out Rodeo at http://alltiera.com/ , which is a HyperCard web application that generates HTML / CSS / JS for you.

I am a Runtime Revolution client, but I have not used Rodeo, so I can only help with creating web applications using RevTalk (like HyperTalk), and not with Rodeo.
