It's pretty wild that we still haven't reached parity with Macromedia Flash in the browser.

I mean, nearly 20 years ago I, a rube, was making professional animations in no time, and since then it got harder, and then less hard, but it's never been easier.

Hell, some (if not many) animation studios still use old Flash copies to make cartoons that are airing today.

This is super cool (and I'm a huge fan of Lottie), and I will probably check it out because I miss being able to make things easily but I can't help but feel sad that we're still making baby steps after a huge leap backwards.

(Don't get me wrong I understand why Flash died, but HTML5 did not remotely live up to the hype.)
