An online alternative to Sencha Animator

I found a very nice alternative to Sencha Animator. It is an innovative free online service called eenox . The platform allows to create CSS3 animations and interactives HTML5 webpages for mobiles, smartphones and computers. You can focus on design and create great web documents even if you are not a developper.

If you are interested, there is the url : http://eenox.net/

I concur with others that this is not appropriate for a Linux Journal item, as well as being short on information. Reads like an ad.

I totally agree. I sent a

I totally agree. I sent a formal complain to Linux Journal about this particular writer. I suggest everyone here does the same!

Press Release

I agree with the others, this is NOT to the LJ standard. Having looked at the site, this appears to be a copy/paste or regurgitation of a press release. I expect an LJ article to:
a) focus on Open Source tools (this is NOT).
b) take a critical look at the offering - good and bad, how it operates, why I would want it, why I would not, who it's best for (this does NOT).

If I'm interested in press releases or marketing, I can go to the company's website. I'm truly disappointed in LJ on this article.

This is the way I want the web to go:

Although there is a version for Linux, I think this is not appropriate for many GNU/Linux users, since it's not open source, even freeware.

Hmmm...

No new technology ever comes without being double-edged. While this looks really cool from a rich-media perspective, I was rather dismayed to see that they seem to be marketing the product (pun somewhat intended) very heavily towards advertisers on their web site, which begs the question: will tools like AdBlock work to disable advertisements created with Sencha?

It might be worth downloading and playing with just to find out...

Yay, expensive non-free software! Just what I was looking for! Software that creates HTML code for me! Got to love people who charge for software that doesn't do anything that free software can't do.
