Creator here!

Yup, I'm still trying to find the right wording for it; "media creation suite" is definitely more descriptive! Thx

"Media" is still too vague. I would be blunt and say "Flash-like content authoring tool for HTML5" or "HTML5 Interactive Animation Editor".

Not creator here. "Flash-like content authoring tool for HTML5" isn't catchy at all, that's like calling an iPod "Digital music playing device". Branding and marketing count.

Flash-like content authoring tool for HTML5 would be a good headline for the Hacker News post, but not for the product.

Yeah - I'd call it "animation" instead of "flash".

Well, first it's not a "suite" - it's just an app. In the industry we call it a Rich Media Editor. If "rich media" seems too old school, you can call it an HTML5 Media Toolkit.

I think for a short name, "creation suite" is fine, but a short description on the page would be handy. The demo does help, certainly.

Looks interesting, anyway, I'll have to check it out to for playing with.

How about "Steady," har har, because it's not Flash.
