So it’s become apparent the last day or so that yes, flash is dying, and it’s probably going to be sooner rather than later. More vulnerabilities found, firefox and chrome disabling flash by default, and people calling on Adobe to announce an end of life for flash.
As someone who has had a flash website for 15 or so years… this is all a bit terrifying! Granted, the writing has been on the wall for a long time, but flash just felt like something that would always be around and that you didn’t have to worry about people not having it.
So in order to make the site less flash reliant moving forward, I plan to make youtube and downloadable versions of all my movies, and downloadable versions for all my games. This is a pretty large undertaking though so it may be a bit til I’m finished, but I’m saying now that I have no intentions of my stuff being lost to time.
If you want to read more about flash and its legacy, there’s a nice article about it on Kotaku here.
