> What could an application do with Flash in 2005 that we can't do with a modern web application today
Show me the JavaScript framework (or tool that exports JS) that you can give it to a middle schooler and have them make a cartoon with audio and moving images that they can draw themselves, while responding to user input. Have the exported artifact be consistent across all major operating systems and browsers.
Yeah, Flash was never replaced
https://scratch.mit.edu/
https://threejs.org/
The intro is all code. Flash opened a wysiwyg editor and a timeline.
While I’m sure some exceptional middle schoolers are using threejs, I don’t think this is approachable to the average middle schooler.
