So I wanted to make a Wolfram widget, but it told me I needed flash and flash is no longer supported in 2021. How do I make a Wolfram widget with no flash? ![Capture.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wolfram/original/3X/3/2/32e6ec456b87fe2f3966fb72a6052495fbb70b59.png) ---

It looks like Widgets have been in “beta” mode for a while. It is interesting that the widgets themselves do not require Flash. It looks like, at least for now, to create new widgets you will need Doctor Strange’s Infinity Stone? ---

Is there no way around this? I want to build widgets really badly, but I’m facing the same problem. ---

Would the Wolfram developers patch this? Because the widget builder is an amazing tool that would help build widgets which use mathematical simulations. ---

I don’t think they are supporting this feature anymore. ---

Sorry about the necropost but this is still an issue that is going on. It’s been over a _ **year** _ and I feel this should be dealt with, so I am trying to bump this up. ---

Bumping this as well. The Wolfram widget maker has so much value and I hope that it’s something that can be used again. Wolfram devs could you look into this? I would greatly appreciate it. ---

I want to make widgets so bad! Please, bring it back! ---
