<[[Brennen]]> IdeaLogging. What has Flash done for the web? Well, there's YouTube. YouTube is pretty cool. Other than that, um:
|
|
|
|
* big, animated advertising with sound
|
|
* lots of band sites that would really be better replaced with an HTML table for a show calendar and some links to mp3s.

Re-implementing things like scroll bars, text controls, menu widgets, etc., is both hard to do and very seldom worth the risk of confusing and alienating users. This is somehow related to the sheer power of the web browser concept and the mutability of text. Constraints along some axes are necessary or at least highly encouraging to expressiveness along other axes.

|
|
* the context menu
|
|
* select/copy/paste
|
|
* Image manipulation operations
|
