> Keyframes is just after effects animation in HTML5, a feature that could be implemented more natively using svg and a solution similar to this for older browsers

That's another approach which has it's own pros and cons. The approach from the article is obviously good if you have Affect Effects experts on hand. I'm not understanding why this isn't interesting to programmers who on a daily basis have to weigh up the pros and cons of different technology/library choices.

Perhaps I'm showing my age, but this feels like this problem was solved a long time ago, forgotten or unused to a large extent and now re-invented. Flash was the clever web version back in the day but I can't see anything really new in this.

I could absolutely be missing the point though. I never count that out.


Flash isn't supported on mobile browsers (now), native Android or native iOS though.


Oh, absolutely. It was a heavy implementation of a similar solution and the mobile ecosystem is better off without it.
