This doesn't get much attention on HN, but Apache Royale is the legitimate blood-line successor to Flex Framework.
Adobe provided the initial resources (developers and hosting) to get the project into a stable state. The project is now managed by Apache.
The team solved a couple monumental challenges (converting AS3 to JavaScript, and putting a GUI framework on top of it).

- omnibrain 6y agoHavin worked with Flex 10 years ago it is nice seeing it living on. But Flex was not only about the Framework but a huge part of flex was the IDE (Flex Builder/Flash Builder) with visual form editor so you could build your programs Delphi/VB-style. Is there a comparable tool?
- racecar789 6y agoAn open source app called FlashDevelop was fairly hot for a few years after Adobe open sourced the Flex framework. FlashDevelop lacked a visual editor, but it was quite capable. FlashDevelop's last release was in 2018.
