I loved Adobe Animate (formerly Macromedia Flash) and it pains me to see it go. Strangely, I don’t think I’ve used it since a couple jobs I did in 2019. While I don’t mind paying subscription fees for the latest in After Effects and Photoshop, I’d be fine with an Animate preserved in amber. I do still have access to some pre-CC versions, but I’d love if someone vibe-coded a clone of the latest version. https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/02/adobe-animate-is-shutting-down-as-company-focuses-on-ai/
