• 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: 12 months 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Spiritual Successor of Flash Websites?

  BTW, you might also want to check out Tumult Hype, I used it for some projects that were similar. https://tumult.com/hype/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Orisinal: Morning Sunshine (recovered old flash games)

  The memories… I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever? It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• WebAssembly Playground

  shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated. Sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/ Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-earth-to-more.html Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/ Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/ etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Amon Tobin – Foley Room site (2007)

  I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine. But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019. [1] https://ruffle.rs/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• It's the offseason, so it's time to face the most lethal bullpen ever assembled. Let's play Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby!

  It is Flash! You're playing it with the free and open-source Flash clone Ruffle. Source: 5 months ago

• Tell HN: I Miss Flash

  If you miss the runtime, look into https://ruffle.rs/ and consider contributing to the project. If you miss the authoring tool, it's now called Adobe Animate: https://www.adobe.com/products/animate.html If you miss Flash games and animations, there seem to be a bunch of archives. The FlashPoint Collection has preserved over 170,000 games and animations: https://flashpointarchive.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
