The transferable idea in The Medium wall is not about HyperTIES:

it was not just a browser, but also an authoring tool, that enabled regular users to switch back and forth between browse mode and edit mode WHILE they were using it, and empowered users as authors.

NeXT Interface Builder, and then the web, split run time from design time. Don Hopkins: without dynamically editing scripts at runtime, you can't hold a candle to HyperCard.

That idea left Apple and landed on NeWS as GoodNeWS, then HyperNeWS, then HyperLook. Browse and edit is the same claim under the old title.
