You can’t do all of it. HyperCard wasn’t just a system for making pages of content connected with links, it was also a full programming language and it had a built in database. This made it easy to do things like build a recipe app that you could add more recipes to without having to build actual cards for each recipe.

Doing this on a website would involve using a database like MySQL and writing some kind of application server. It could not be done with just plain HTML.
