You could make web animations 15 years ago. I don't know what's so special about flash that people miss in modern web.

A GUI authoring tool which everybody can learn instead of some insane manual canvas coding.

From tech perspective, it works in my Pentium III computer, and the animation is streamable. Try that with JS?

  • With the abundance of software around I'm pretty sure that the're plenty of GUI authoring tools. According to quick Googling I can see that there's Adobe Animate which is successor of Adobe Flash and it supports HTML5 output.

    I don't think that asking from modern software to work on Pentium 3 is reasonable. Software should work on a reasonable percentage of user computers. Pentium 3 is definitely outside of this definition. You didn't ask for Flash to work on 8086, did you? I'd expect it to be a challenge to even run Google Chrome on Pentium 3.
