Thanks for your comment! And thanks for your contribution! I think you’ve done a great job of summarizing most of the major issues. Glad to have you on board!

I have been greatly puzzled by Adobe’s Bait & Switch with inDesign. Since 5.5 they boasted about inDesign’s ability to export HTML5. I had done a quick test just to see if it would work. The little I did seemed to work fine when exported to HTML5. But when I then completed the site and tried to export to HTML5, it was a disaster. I had no choice but to put the SWF version online. Because SWF provides NO SEO possibilities, I decided to redo the site in Adobe Muse just so it could run under HTML5.

I think Muse is very easy to use, but I had to learn it and I already had years of proficiency with inDesign — which is MUCH more robust. (BTW – does anyone know how to do a TABLE in Muse? The text handling in Muse is laughable.) I created a google alert just so I could learn about any tools for faithfully export HTML5 from inDesign. That’s how I learned about your project.

I’m really looking forward to this. I funded $100 because I want to get my hands on it early.
Thanks for a great project that SHOULD have been completely unnecessary had Adobe simply delivered on its promises. But I’m certainly glad AJAR took up the good fight!

Many thanks –

We’re at 106% funding as I type. Funders at $100 or more will have access to an early prototype about 2 weeks after the project closes, then access to the working builds until the product is released.

Assuming that you are funded for this project, what is the ETA for funders over $100 to gain access to this Extension?

Thanks,
Dane
