Favourite tools for HTML5 authoring?

[mareid]

Hi, everyone.

I'm curious to know what kinds of tools people use to make HTML5 simulations.  At the moment, I'm using CSS animations and three.js (threejs.org) to make really nice WebGL-based visualizations.  However, I can see that it's a bit too complicated for me to hand off to most of my science colleagues--the learning curve will be too steep for busy faculty and students to bother with. I've looked at using some Adobe tools (mainly Edge), but they seem even harder to learn and very constraining.  Anyone else have favourite tools or libraries for pure, open HTML5 authoring?

Thanks!

Mike, most of us aren't far enough along to know much about libraries or front-end tools. I just type code in a text editor and do the best I can. If you need 3D graphics, then you might look into GlowScript (glowscript.org) as an easier alternative to three.js. But these choices really depend on what you're doing, and on who's doing the coding and so on.
