• Flash Back: An "oral" history of Flash

  Tumult Hype is a very slick, modern equivalent to Flash and it exports HTML5! It's definitely the easiest way to develop Flash-like html5 apps if you miss the Flash workflow. https://tumult.com/hype/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Thinking of switching from photoshop to affinity

  I switch in 2014 and never went back. The learning curve is something you need to be aware of and also the fact you need to buy other apps as well. For example I have these apps accompanying my Affinity suite: Hype4, Pixelmator and Art Text plus a free app that is a Figma alternative called Penpot. Why? Because these third apps would do what Affinity can’t. With all those apps, you won’t need Adobe to survive in... Source: about 3 years ago

• I still use Flash in 2022

  Man I miss Flash too! Tumult Hype is the closest thing to it, but the editor's Mac only. https://tumult.com/hype/. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Are there things that Flash did that we still can’t do with today’s web?

  I keep hoping that we’ll be able to package Flash-grade animations as WASM and send them out as a single file (or as two files, one for a Haxe-like runtime and another for the game or animation). But since there is no real standard authoring tool (and nobody mentions those, or the ease of use the Flash “IDE” had) I don’t have much hope. The closest I’ve seen (and actually use) is Hype (https://tumult.com/hype/),... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

  On Mac there is Hype. The earlier versions were pretty good, but I haven't used the latest. https://tumult.com/hype/. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025

  My friends and I have been hacking on http://dateit.com for a while. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)

  Https://dateit.com A social event planning app to capture the fun my friends and I had with facebook events, but without the facebook. We have native apps for iOS, Android and the web. Dateit has a generous free features compared to competing apps (SMS invites, photo upload, customization). My cofounder and I have fully bootstrapped this and now it mostly self sustains which is an exciting achievement! It's been a... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you promote your personal project in limited bugget?

  My friend and I have been building an app over the past few years, and it's been a slow, sometimes painful grind. We quickly realized that paid ads are expensive and often ineffective when your audience is broad and not super easy to target. Also paid influencers suck. I am sure there is a right way to do it, but we aren’t full-time marketers, and every time it has been a nightmare working with one. What’s worked... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How are you acquiring first 100 users?

  We relied heavily on network effects early on starting with our friend group and encouraging word-of-mouth growth. We built a multiplatform app called dateit(https://dateit.com/), which is kind of like Facebook Events but with a better user experience. Obviously, our product is very different from yours, but one thing that worked well for us was focusing on building momentum within small communities first rather... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Do you have recaps of what's happened in sessions past every week or no?

  You should check out dateit it's like facebook events but it doesn't suck. You aren't stuck to one platform. We use it for our dnd sessions all the time. Upload our maps and add session highlights at the end. Source: over 3 years ago
