Editing SuperCard (section)

===The 21st century===
In 2002, SuperCard was acquired for the fourth time. This time, [http://www.solutionsetcetera.com/ Solutions Etcetera], the company that had been developing SuperCard for IncWell, bought the product, and announced version 4. This new version introduced [[Mac OS X]] support, complete theme compliance and a wide range of user interface elements to go with it.

Since then, versions up to 4.8 were released, bringing improvements and bug fixes, native support for Apple's Intel-Chip-Based Macs, IDE enhancements, extended numeric precision, anti-aliased draw graphics, and expanded shell support.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supercard.us/introducing-supercard-48.html|title=Introducing SuperCard 4.8|website=www.supercard.us|language=|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref>

As of March 2023, SuperCard 4.8.1 was not compatible with [[macOS Catalina]] or later due to the removal of [[32-bit#Applications|32-bit application]] support in macOS.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.supercard.us/supercard-in-parallels.html| title=SuperCard in Parallels| website=SuperCard| access-date=6 March 2023| archive-url=https://archive.today/20210824002438/https://www.supercard.us/supercard-in-parallels.html| archive-date=24 August 2021| url-status=live}}</ref>

As a result of the passing of Scott Simon, co-owner of Solutions Etcetera, in April 2024, the SuperCard web site and that of its parent company were taken down. This brought to an end the 36-year history of the product. The clear turning point in SuperCard's commercial viability was Solutions Etcetera's decision not to follow Apple's development roadmap. After MacOS dropped support for 32-bit applications in 2012 ([[OS X Mountain Lion]]), SuperCard could only be run on obsolete hardware (defined as officially unsupported by Apple), or under emulated environments on modern hardware. This, combined with the rise of competing, more modern, cross-platform authoring alternatives and frameworks vastly diminished the potential customer base.
