The Death of Flash? Adobe Edge

Adobe Edge

What's Adobe Edge? For the techies and web designers it's essentially Flash design for HTML 5, CSS, and Javascript. For the rest of us it's a new, cost effective way to get Flash-like website design that plays well with mobile and doesn't require installing/updating any add-ons to your browser. But don't get too excited yet -- it's only in a preview release and having played with it hands-on it needs a lot of work.

The effects and animations it can do are nothing new but it's all presented in a wonderful, intuitive interface that designers will be familiar and comfortable with.

We've also posted a first attempt at creating an animation. It's rather simple and quite self-serving but it managed to get us excited about a more universal usage of motion elements on websites.
