FFS. Four days after asking for suggestions to replace Animate and Adobe announce they're discontinuing the product on 1 March.

So that's put the pressure on finding an alternative.

Also *I* was going to flounce off from you Adobe, not the other way around.

(to be fair, I will still flounce off, but it won't be *quite* as satisfying)

In this week's internet history post, I look back at the peak of Flash web design in 2003. In particular, the launch of BowieNet version 3 — designed completely in Flash (which made it a huge challenge to get screenshots from the Wayback Machine!). Also featured: MTV2 and tokyoplastic v1. Hat-tip to @alienmelon, who I quote on Flash history. https://cybercultural.com/p/bowienet-v3-flash-2003/ #InternetHistory #Flash

Because I'm now into the early 2000s in my internet history series, I'm encountering some websites that aren't accessible in Wayback Machine...because they were made from #Flash. BowieNet v2 was heavily Flash-based, so it was very difficult to find screenshots. Quite frustrating that Flash was so poorly archived — even the Ruffle open source Flash Player emulator struggles with these old Flash sites.
