This makes me miss Flash in a weird way. This is like what early Flash looked like. Flash performed better, usually looked more polished than this, and was WAY easier to author in than WebGL probably will ever be.

#12Extracting one part of a conversation I had on Reddit with someone who's worked with GreenSock -- "GSAP is fairly standard on commercial sites. It’s the most mature and cross tested animation option, but it’s best features aren’t free. I’d argue there’s a good reason for that though, because the codebase is pretty impressive and can’t be cheap to maintain. Most people say the biggest advantage of GSAP is the timeline…
I agree. I've used GSAP since the AS3 Flash days so almost a decade. It's simply one of the best libraries I've ever used.

Is there a market for these types of websites?
Maybe I should create some kind of "interactive web experience" and see if I can get some clients.

So just because you personally have trouble with something, no one should ever use it?

#16Shows great mastery of webgl animation and poor understanding of browser history (navigation history).

Flash has never been this smooth.

Yeah. I was a Flash programmer back in the mid 2000s, and GSAP is what let us move away from Flash and onto JavaScript with a similar set of abstractions. The best animation system I’ve used for the web; and amazingly performant.

Whereas it was 60FPS, perfectly smooth and quick loading on my iPhone SE. Weird.

Everyone had a bad habit of leaving the FPS at 25 (iirc that was the default. Maybe 24). I wonder how smooth it can be if that was fixed and the same engineering went into it that goes into GSAP?
Actually I don’t really wonder; Flash is well dead, but it’s interesting to ponder!
