The one ultimately responsible for Flash's death was Adobe, who neither felt it was worth investing in to overcome these issues, nor worth open sourcing to let the community give it a try.
What a loss.
- epistasis 6y agoRemember when Adobe added Flash content to PDF? That's just how little they understood the technology they owned.
- naikrovek 6y agoThat doesn't mean anything, Adobe has added support for everything to PDF. Adobe wanted (and tried hard for a while) to make PDF the defacto way to use the web. Instead of authoring HTML you'd publish PDFs. Links would take you to other PDFs within Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader was the browser they wanted people to use, before anyone knew what a browser was. So, they had to have Acrobat Reader support all of those content types. For Adobe I give full marks for cajoñes and long term thinking, but I'm gonna have to deduct points for the closed nature of it all.
