Comment on The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well

You are wrong. You probably never used it. There is no such tools to develop apps like was possible with flash.

The argument that you can do with x technology today the same thing makes no sense. Today you have to be a skilled programer to do the same stuff and it might still work worse today as it did back then.

HTML5 is nowhere near as capable. Webgl . Is there a graphical tool to use it? JavaScript tool? Dumbass Lottie files tools that cost 20$ per month and suck.

And if you were a good programer in flash/flex, you could build apps just as stable as you can today.

It’s stupid that tech like this doesn’t exist. Except for dumbass Rive - again 45$ per month and it sucks

  That’s just a web ide. Flash was a vector tool where you could for animate and also code.

    It’s not an UDE; p5.js is a programming language (originally based on Processing) intended to be easy to learn, and focused on making it easy for non-programmers to create art.
    
    You can use it to make anything you could make with Flash, and more.
