Spiritual Successor of Flash Websites?
I loved making websites in flash and actionscript before the death of flash. I just want to draw stuff, highlight parts of drawings, right click, add a click handler, jump between frames. What other tools exist today that'd let me hand draw a website? And are there any powerful enough to make a full web app, let's say a twitter clone?
Flash still lives! It’s now called Adobe Animate, and exports to HTML/JS instead of a proprietary swf. Adobe was just unable to communicate this so no one knows it.
Also look at Construct 3 (it’s awesome!), or even Godot (which exports to HTML5) - both are Flash’s spiritual successors.
Keyshape on MacOS is definitely not a full replacement. But it is an incredible tool to create animated SVGs (even interactive ones.) An animated SVG is basically a single file SVG that can have embedded JS. It can easily be wrapped.
BTW, you might also want to check out Tumult Hype, I used it for some projects that were similar.

It now perfectly possible to do anything Flash did in JavaScript/CSS (am open to correction). Not sure why you would choose anything else.
Doesn't Adobe still make tools that support this style of creation? I thought they did but it's been a while.
Flash, Shockwave, Silverlight, Java Applet, and many more.
Be cautious investing time into development on a user downloadable runtime.
