I've been using the Woodwing tools for a client of mine, but we're about to switch over to the Adobe DPS (Woodwing is integrating their tools with Adobe's, and is dropping support for their current reader app next fall).
One thing I wish we could do with the DPS is create content *within* InDesign that is read as HTML5 by the app. In other words, create a system where any half-conscious intern could log in to a back-end admin system, paste in content, and it automatically publishes to a predesigned, weblike publication app. This would save publishers a lot of money, and the designers could focus on creating true value-added interactive pieces, directing video and audio, etc., rather than spending copious amounts of time translating pages from print to digital.
- We've been using a custom Woodwing setup as well so this Adobe merger is interesting. Also, great idea!monospaced
- we have to use an outside group to build our custom in-app "widgets" though.monospaced
- a buddy and i are doing just that with a custom cms. still buggy but it *is* possible.plash
