Isn't a browser a plugin to you OS ?
I understand your point, but flash has a really big penetration. and resolves a lot of problems.. and is really crossbrowser..
Getting all the browser to go completely nsync in some matter will never happen.
Nevertheless... trying to force it is a good action... but until we achieve it.. flash is a good real solution for now!:)
There are a couple of developments in flash to port SVG to it.
ImputDraw (http://www.mainada.net/inputdraw) lets you have a draw flash component online.
But the new version will allow a big set of SVG in it. (here is a early demo: http://blog.tiagocardoso.eu/mainada/comics-sketch/2008/07/04/svg-viewer-demo/)
Zoom in to see the beauty of SVG!!!:D
Mainada Comics Sketch is a fine example of this new RIA aproach.
http://www.mainada.net/comicssketch is a place for artists and users to draw their own comic strips online.
This site uses rails/ajax approach and implements Open Laszlo features on top of it.
It's a great example of the new generation of RIA sites and portals.
Here you can browse comic strips with the conviniency of ajax, take advantage of flash to view animations and real time drawing strip playback. And due to Laszlo great features, anyone can draw complete comic strips directly online and publish them on-the-fly.
This kind of mixture is great, having the right portion of html and ajax, to have a fluid yet google-friendly site and flash/openlaszlo components to give more dynamic and richness to it's main contents.
Try openlaszlo. It's easy to integrate with ruby or any other related framework (ruby or python).
If you have any talent or curiosity, feel free to use the site.
MaiNada Comics use Open Laszlo for the drawing and displaying of comics.
It's a new and free site, where users can draw their comic strips
directly online. It's really fun and has some cool features.
Other users drawing are drawn in "real time" and are ranked by everyone.
Strips can be viewed by ranting, date or user.
Anyone can even blog their comics with one line of code (an iFrame link).
This is an important resource to artists wanting to publish their work
online without the knowledge to create a website. And it's a good
initiative for comic art.
