Richard MacManus on Nostr: Someone sent me their new website today, which at first glance looked like a Flash ...
Someone sent me their new website today, which at first glance looked like a Flash site — highly interactive, very snazzy. Turns out the site was built using Readymag (
https://readymag.com/), which seems to be a modern take on Flash. The Readymag site itself uses a heck of a lot of JavaScript, and its homepage is over 12MB before first scroll. It's marketed as a "no code" site builder. I will look more into it...but it did strike me that *of course* the modern equivalent of Flash is JS-based.
