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

  My guess is because there’s no “easy to use” program that allows them to make the whole thing then export for easy web visualization, most of the people who’d make animations won’t want to write down keyframe positions

    This is a great idea for a project honestly.

      I guess the “easiest” way to approach it is to take a working JS game engine, like pixijs or melonjs or p5js, creating the animation editor with keyframes and whatnot, then allowing it to export as “web animation”, which would be the javascript file + compacted resources

        This sounds very cool. I’m a programmer by profession but used to love drawing animations as a kid. I should try to make something like this.
