What is PubCoder?
PubCoder is a desktop application for Mac and Windows that enables users to create interactive digital content. It allows the insertion of text, audio, images, and videos, with features for defining touch gestures and triggering animations, videos, and read-aloud functionality. The tool supports vertical scrolling designs, accessibility features, and complex animations imported from Adobe After Effects as animated SVGs using Bodymovin.
Projects can be adapted for multiple languages, alphabets, and screen sizes. PubCoder includes learning games like Memory and Crossword to engage users. Content can be exported as native iOS or Android apps, EPUB3 or KF8 ebooks, or embeddable HTML5. The Shelf platform-as-a-service enables distribution and sales through custom library apps with in-app purchases or coupon codes, while the free PubReader app allows testing and sharing of XPUB files on iOS and Android devices.
