On: Show HN: All-SVG websites with complex animation

[nashashmi]

This is like the successor to flash.

That's true. I used to build Flash websites and I started this project because I couldn't see myself building HTML/CSS for the rest of my life.

Although there were many horrible Flash websites there were some really glorious ones too.

And if I can pursue this project using mainstream, standards compliant technology, I can replicate some of the good things without the exclusive, resource-heavy player that was needed for Flash.

GreenSock used to be a Flash library!

I didn't know that — thanks for the info!

Hehe, yeah forget wasm, let's all use SVG :-)

I doubt that flash will ever get "replaced", not even https://ruffle.rs/ is feature complete.

I imagine wasm and all-svg pair really well.

If all goes well we'll be using WASM to produce our own SVG/HTML hybrid pages in a couple of years ;-)
