While working on the Hype book project, I found myself recreating features in Hype – WITH HYPE! I created filter sliders and 3D rotation sliders. I’m thinking Hype could easily move to the web. I also think this could be very bad.
The reason I’m here is because I don’t want to rent software. Adobe moved Flash to the “Creative Cloud”. That’s just a euphemism for online slum lord. I don’t want to rent a crappy one-bedroom condo when I can own a house with a view. Hype is that house with a view.
Flash might have great HTML5 exporting in the latest CC version. I don’t know for sure. I don’t care. I don’t want to rent software.
So, if Tumult created an online version of Hype to attract Windows and Linux users, that’s cool. If the Mac version started moved online, then I’d probably stick with the newest app version until better tools were available.
