Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Flash is being phased out. . Will skritter move to HTML 5?

I just bought my first tablet which is the nexus 7 from Google. Adobe is not providing flash for anymore versions of Android from 4.1 onward.

Also Chrome is not supporting flash. . (at least not on the tablet).

The writing is one the wall. . is Skritter going to switch over to HTML 5? Soon it is going to be too difficult to use skritter.

HTML 5 has its own platform compatibility issues which prevent us from making a great app experience in it. Maybe someday it will have the capabilities we would need, but we don't have immediate plans to start a gigantic port, instead working on some new features and bugs for the web site and the iOS app.

yeah, HTML5 sounds wonderful, "write once run anywhere" but my few attempts at doing portable web pages with audio failed miserably. So many platforms, so many bleeding edge HTML5 features...

the multi-platform dream in reality becomes "write once, debug everywhere"... *sigh*

but we can keep hoping. Maybe with a jquery plugin? This one looks pretty good:

of course the other thing that needs to work well is drawing... Last time I checked canvas drawing was a little cranky on my Android phone. For example, this canvas drawing app works badly on the default Android browser:

I must agree with Kai. My attempts at using it have also been met with lots of little problems here and there. It's a nice universal thought for the future though!

So basically going in to the future you'll be dropping android support then, shame :(
