October 6, 2021 New Home Page flash.pm

Check out the new webpage and gihub repo of the flash browser 2021. The project needs traction and contributors so I am trying to reach out to old school flash devs and new electron devs to make a team. Evaluate the potential. Let me know if I am missing something

December 18, 2020 Play Flash games without Plugins

Pivot, most people will not want to install a app to play casual games.

Have flash games load inside a WebAssembly player and that allows popple to play swf files after January 2021.

Have to add a huge archive of games, each has to be tested.
Also need to start a youtube channel for promotion

April 24, 2020 Similar products research

New ground gaming website has a similar project where users can install a app to run flash games ( dose not seem to be popular )

A attempt to run flash in web assembly ( looks promising )
https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle

Registerd https://flashgames.bz/
This will be the template for all game websited that want to use the desktop app.
If user click on a flash game website will prompt the user to download the app if he wants to play that game. Users download the app and on launch he sees the website log and then the game is automatically launched. Next time a user clicks on a flash game on the website the app will trigger and load the game.

April 2, 2020 Finished MVP

Find the sources and build here https://github.com/radubirsan/flash.pm
http://flash.pm
Registerd domain flash.pm

The difficult part was getting browser to start the app by clicking on a link and passing the swf URL. Also linking to a download presented security issues. I did not want users to have to host the exe and be able to redirect the app download link to the github build

Looked into ways of making the app launch with the LOGO of the website that it was downloaded from

February 17, 2020 Flash Player will be discontinued

Valuable content will not be easy playable by acceding a link like before. (Games / e-learning/ webapps etc)
The idea is to give people a Windows/Mac/Linux install-able application that can be invoked from the browser and can run any flash file (SWF)
