- rchaud 5y agoI find that your perspective from back then holds up. Flash critics are mostly blinded by their dislike of ads, Adobe in general and by the points made in Steve Jobs's 2010 open letter. The latter was central to Apple's strategy of cordoning off iOS into a walled garden and a 30% gatekeeper fee. The state of the creative web diminished dramatically during this time because there were pretty much no tools that could replace Flash. Making something creative became the exclusive domain of web developers who understood the miasma of different technologies (JS, SVG, CSS, WebAudio, etc). What came of that? Nothing, because devs that know those things work for boring companies making boring software.
- dredmorbius 5y agoI picked up your earlier comment referring to that post, BTW.
