| > 1. Tons of existing flash content people want to access I'm not sure about that. For most of the time, there was not even a flash player for my operating system of choice and I did not miss much. Now I still have to click to enable flash content and that only happens about once a week. > 2. Give current flash devs a reasonable alternative HTML5 + JS are actually pretty powerful if one ignores the cruft that has been built up over the years (i.e.: stick to standards only, ignore the 90% outdated advice given in places like stackoverflow). Earlier this year I was redoing a flash-only site for friends in HTML5 and JS: I am not a frontend guy at all, I did develop on firefox only, I stuck to html/js/css standards without any 3rd party library and when, after about 30h of development time, we tested across platforms it just worked. > Flash has been "dying" for years, but if we really want it to bite the dust, we need to give people a better way to make their content that doesn't depend on a plugin. Do we? Maybe people should reconsider whether their content really requires flash. The technology is there, flash devs will just have to move on and learn something new. |
