WebAssembly is still under active and intense development, but itвЂ™s future looks outstanding and we are watching closely. Finally, the world has caught up with these developments and the World Wide Web Consortium has published and implemented an open source browser based virtual machine known as WebAssembly.

Due to its rich history in animation and video games, the Flash virtual machine gave us the ability to be over a decade ahead of where most web browser apps were at the time.

Though Flash has gained a questionable reputation for AdobeвЂ™s handling of security updates, along with others using it to develop advertisements that bogged down end userвЂ™s computers, the tool itself has always been nothing short of amazing. These types of complex write once, run everywhere applications require virtual machines that can run on multiple platforms and in multiple browsers. At that time, the only technologies available that could handle this type of application in a browser were SunвЂ™s (now Oracle) Java virtual machine and AdobeвЂ™s Flash virtual machine. When EthnoNotes for the web (DedooseвЂ™s predecessor) was created in 2006, we knew that we wanted a collaborative rich application that people could access with web browsers as easily as they do with traditional desktop applications. Now, for the technologically curious, IвЂ™d like to share more about why we have a Flash version in the first place and what we are doing as we look into the future.

And, for those without administrative access to their machines, we will likely be pushing out a portable executable of Dedoose that requires no machine access and runs without installation. For those individuals, we recommend the use of Google Chrome as the browser of choice. Regardless, for convenience purposes, many people wish to continue using the browser version. It has been the superior version of the Dedoose application since released as it doesn't rely on a web browserвЂ™s overhead. As part of this ongoing process, we have updated our messaging to start encouraging more people to make use of the desktop App. Importantly, keep in mind that this will have no effect on the Desktop version of Dedoose and Dedoose will continue to be available for Windows, OSX, and Linux machines as both native executables and Adobe Air applications (and Dedoose may switch to only native executables at some point in the future). Should that be the case, this will render the current web version of Dedoose unavailable. However, it is possible that Google and other browser vendors may disable the Flash Player plugin around December 2020. So, at the outset, this shift will have virtually no effect on the Dedoose App web version. Note that they have confirmed there will be continued security updates for the Flash Player. This means that Adobe will stop adding new features to the Flash Player past that time. To some history, on JAdobe announced they would be moving the Flash Player browser plugin to end of life in 2020.

If you are not already in the know, Dedoose already has a desktop App, available for OSX, Windows, and Linux (via Wine) that does not use the Flash Player, rather running via the Adobe AIR runtime system.

First and foremost, have no fear, we are aware of these developments and can assure you that Dedoose will be available for a long time to come. I want to respond to some recent inquiries regarding DedooseвЂ™s future in relation to Adobe Flash. Hello everyone, IвЂ™m Jason Taylor, DedooseвЂ™s Chief Technology Architect.
