Ajar Productions & in5 — 2021 Year in Review

2021 was another big year for Ajar Productions and our customers. Here's a quick synopsis of what we've been up to, and how you can access some of the content we've created this past year.

Website Redesign

We completed a major overhaul to ajarproductions.com to modernize the design and to create a more responsive experience. It was long overdue.

Live Webinars

I asked for feedback about live webinar topics at the beginning of the year and gave everyone a chance to make suggestions and vote on their favorites.

I'm proud to say that we were able to cover all of the top-voted topics in either a live webinar or a video course.

1. Web Apps/mobile apps (recording available on YouTube)
2. Adding Tumult Hype to in5 projects (recording available on YouTube)
3. Accessibility (live webinar held in Dec, will be released as an online video course in early 2022).
4. Fixed positioning & parallax (covered in Create a One-Page Scrolling Website course on Ajar Academy)
5. Long borderless scrolling with Responsive Layouts (covered in Create a One-Page Scrolling Website course on Ajar Academy)
6. Easy Hosting with Tiiny Host (recording available on YouTube)

New Video Courses

We released three new video courses in 2021, and we've got two more that are ready to release immediately in 2022.

Already available:

• How to Create a One-Page Scrolling Website with InDesign & in5
• Transitioning from Print to Digital with InDesign & in5
• Using Video in Your in5 Project

Recorded and about to be released:

• Accessibility & SEO Techniques with InDesign & in5
• Using Animation & Interactivity in Your in5 Project

We're determined to help you make the most of in5 by providing training to help you create your digital projects.

Software Updates

While there wasn't a major feature release of in5 during 2021, we were continuously posting minor updates to fix bugs and keep up with browser and InDesign changes.

You can always see a comprehensive in the in5 Changelog. You can see that we're sometimes offering updates as frequently 2-week intervals to keep your projects flowing.

Based on some great feedback during the live webinars, we have some feature releases planned very soon.

How to stay up-to-date

In addition to the changelog, we post minor updates on social media. Follow us here to get the "micro" updates:

• Twitter

• Linkedin

For the bigger updates, you can subscribe to our email newsletter. Those are less frequent, but often more substantial.

Another great place to follow us is on our YouTube channel. We posted 45 videos in 2021, averaging nearly one per week. That includes webinars, free Ajar Academy videos, and tons of tutorials.

You can expect more from us soon.

Thanks helping us make the most of 2021 and see you in the new year!
