Hi everyone! I wrote the article. It's great to see it shared here on HackerNews. The people buildings today's tools and technologies are exactly the people that I want to reach!

So many developers still feel like Flash was the most amazing thing that ever happened to them in their creative careers.

For building today’s platforms and technologies, it is important to remember what made Flash great, but it is at risk of being forgotten because Flash will no longer be supported after December 2020.

I’d like to spread the message to influence and inspire the next generation of tool creators!

Hey, I loved the article! One comment is the animated header backgrounds are pretty jarring for people with sensitivity to motion when trying to read. Would there be a way that you could add a button to pause the animations? I think it would make the meat of the article much more accessible.
You are right. It's only in the beginning, but it can still be annoying. Maybe it would be better without the screenshake from Canabalt.
Or maybe make it follow the browser's prefers-reduced-motion setting?
