Tools

Here at INN Labs, we write a lot of code.

We're committed to providing software solutions of the highest quality, and we build upon open-source platforms like WordPress to create sites with the flexibility and control that news organizations need. As such, we're dedicated to working in the open and contributing back to the open-source and journalism-tech communities that have laid the foundation for our work and enabled us to better serve our clients and partners.

Our team manages a number of open-source projects — most notably Largo, our WordPress theme for publishers. We've also released supplemental publishing plugins that enable even more capabilities for independent publishers.

Below are some of the tools we've developed. We'd love to hear from you if you're using any of our code — and if you'd like assistance getting set up, please get in touch! It's great to hear from users, and there are lots of ways we can help.
