This is great. I have actually written about how this is a great opportunity: an "excalidraw for animations". Try to make the people land immediately on the editor instead of the landing page. And focus on the sharing aspects so it gets viralized. Public you're aiming to?

Your words mean a lot to me. In designing and implementing Trangram, ease-of-use ranks high on my list of priorities, alongside functionality and safety. Just as you mentioned, one of my primary motivations was to facilitate the creation of educational materials, which I was particularly inspired by experiences while watching The Power Of A Mathematical Picture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnMT70HOxc&list=PLOxODW…
Same experience. Very easy to use and plenty of functionality. What is safety?

Love it. Tutorial would be lovely, and grid, and lock object... How do you make a new frame

Good luck on your mission! As a kid/teenager who grew up creating animations and games on Flash (from v2 to v5) I've always felt that since then only the people really into animation have been able to play with it, the tools are not approachable, you need to learn a lot before you can do the basics which were quite straightforward with Flash. I really hope Trangram gets some traction so you have the time and resource…
This looks awesome. Some suggestions though: - Would be awesome to be able to open an existing animation (eg. like any of the ones showcased). It's a built overwhelming for a noobie opening up to a blank editor page. - Could also consider putting a tutorial video Anyways I'll have to play around with this.

Add to the list that when we resized the window or went fullscreen the typical Flash app would keep its original size. A Flash app born for 800x600 screens wouldn't look well in a 1366x768 screen or 1080p ones. It became tiny as resolution increased and diagonals more or less didn't. Then Steve Jobs and battery life or removing a competing ecosystem.
Not my experience outside of aspect ratio mis-matches. Flash content used a lot of vector art which scales fantastically. It not resizing is the developer's fault, not the technology's (which is common with Flash, it got blamed a lot for its misuse).

No. Generally, the missing features you mention were inconsequential to decision-makers (outside of some ideological devs) and many of them were being gradually addressed by Macromedia/Adobe anyway. Flash died because Microsoft was agressingly nipping at Adobe on the commercial side with Silverlight, because standard bodies were finally chipping away at its feature advantages with long-needed improvements to HTML, CS…
I'm surprised you bothered to mention SilverLight. It was Microsoft's intent, sure, but did it ever have any uptake? It's more of a curiosity or footnote than a relevant factor.

Yeah, coming from back at that time, to consider Silverlight at all is to give it too much credit. Jobs and his unwillingness to support it on iPhone killed Flash, and that's that.
