https://www.anim8.io might spark your imagination again.

Lots of animators are still making indy animation, it's just been drowned out on the major platforms due to how time consuming it is to create and it's basically not possible to monetize well outside of Anim8 now (YouTube algorithm favors frequent uploads and high video duration - not compatible with animation).




Anim8 seems to be the closest thing to classic Flash animation, albeit without the interactive component.

However, I'm a little disappointed that it seems to output in MP4. Is there really no modern format for vector video?
