What an ignominious end. Flash deserved so much better.

@spiralganglion the story of flash is so particular and peculiar. doesnt really fit in the conventional narratives of success and failure in software

@spiralganglion that well and truly sucks. I haven’t used Animate, but Macromedia Flash is what got me *really* into the web when others were writing games. Without it, Dreamweaver and Fireworks I would have never found this career I love so much. Truly heartbreaking
