Since Flash is not used anymore for web apps, I thought I should remake the old Photobooth in HTML5. This web app captures pictures from the webcam or phone camera and saves them to a server (php or asp). It uses HTML5 and JavaScript to do so and it has a Flash fallback for older browsers (like Internet Explorer) that’s don’t support the HTML5 video object.

You can test out the app here:

It all started more as an experiment a few years ago. I made the first Christmas countdown app and uploaded it to my website. The app was also added to the Google Chrome webstore. In December 2014, I noticed a lot of traffic on that app, it got popular! That’s when I decided to start working more on the app and also make mobile versions of that app so people can have it on their mobile devices.

The version of the web app available in the past few years was developed using Adobe Flash. Since Flash is almost dead, I decided this year to make a better, more beautiful HTML5 version that will work on all modern browsers, including mobile browsers. That’s exactly what I did in the last few weeks.

Now, the new Christmas Countdown app is available and ready to be used. The app includes a list of Christmas radio stations with beautiful Christmas carols that you can listen to all day long.

I will keep improving the app with things that might make it better. If you have any suggestions, please add them in the comments section below. Thank you and enjoy the app!
