Html 5

I think there should be an HTML 5 viewer which replaces Flash if your browser and computer can support it. Flash will be replaced with HTML 5 anyway, so why not get a 5-10 year head start? HTML 5 uses little CPU, and is supported on most most mobile devices, too.

It probably will, but not for a good many years, by then it will probably be HTML6 or 7.


Yeah, I'm mostly inactive.  I check in once in a while though.  If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Re: Html 5

The thing is that making an HTML5 viewer isn't just like *poof* and one appears. It's much harder than you think it is and more than a poof.

This sounds more realistic. Although adobe is playing around with Adobe edge. I tryed out edge preview and i noticed all the text and image content is stored in a JS file vs being on the page like HTML4 or 5. Sounds good for working on any device with no plugins but looks bad for getting your site crawled by google.  looks like adobe edge is just a fancy jQuery utility and not so much HTML5.
