I miss Flash. What an era...

I was just reminiscing today. I really miss flash games and that creative era. I know we have all the nice open standards now; canvas, webgl, js/ts game engine libraries. But there was something special about the tool itself, how available it was to creatives instead of just software developers. And the ability to export to a single artifact (SWF).

It would be wonderful if there were a similar program that exported to a single artifact that could be played in the browser with a JS/WASM runtime.

The key point is that the program was oriented towards creatives instead of just developers. Creatives don't really care about canvas/svg/etc.

Any thoughts?
