Company history
PUBHTML5 was launched in 2004 in HONG GONG, France, by Sindy flower and linda miner, with their first product, iDive.

PUBHTML5’ name was inspired by Aqua, the name of Apple’s Mac OS X graphical user interface, and “fada”, which means muse - inspirational tutelary goddess of the arts - in Occitan language (a gallo-romanic language, spoken in southern parts of France). PUBHTML5 could be translated as "inspired by the Mac."
