[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HyperCard register

Is there anything such as a HyperCard registry, where people who have 
written stacks describe and register their creations?  It's quite a 
pain to have to search through public domain catalogs, file listings, 
mac magazines, and disks to determine if a HyperCard concept has been 
implemented or not. 
  
Even worse, when you are in the middle of a million hour stack to 
develop something you need, and almost have everything done after 
sweating it out... You'll find someone has already made one that 
does what you want. 
  
Even a partial HyperCard stack register would help to say what NOT 
to do... If there were one, it would cut down on the million of 
duplicate FINDER replacements, etc.  It is depressing to work for 
hours on a stack to find someone else has beat you to the public.
