    Some of the insanely great things Bill gifted us with in his short time on this earth

    • QuickDraw – Created the graphics engine for Lisa and Macintosh.

    • MacPaint – Developed the first popular bitmap graphics editor.

    • HyperCard – Invented a precursor to the modern web.

    • GUI Innovations – Introduced “marching ants,” lasso tool, menu bar.

    • Atkinson Dithering – Created a dithering technique for better image rendering.

    • PhotoCard App – Built a postcard app post-Apple.

    The Mac 🖥️ doesn’t exist without Bill …
