Creating an application is often perceived as a complex project, reserved for developers or highly technical profiles. However, some creators simply set out with an idea in mind... and a lot of questions. It was during an exchange with the support team that we discovered Steffen Trawinski's story. In developing his first app with GoodBarber, Steffen wanted to share his experience, precisely to help others overcome their doubts and project themselves more serenely into the creation of an application. With no prior development experience, he designed and published TalkBoost, now available on the App Store (and could just as easily be offered on Google Play, thanks to GoodBarber technology). In this interview, Steffen talks about his background, motivations and feedback.

Time flies: we've already reached the end of the year. It's a special time of year, when the pace at GoodBarber slows down a little. It's time for some of the team to be with their loved ones.

As we do every year, we’re taking a look back at the key updates and improvements brought to GoodBarber over the past twelve months. And in 2025, one theme stood out clearly: design. We focused our efforts on one clear objective — helping you create apps that are more elegant, modern, and high-performing, perfectly aligned with current UI/UX trends. Our designers, through continuous research and trend analysis, have drawn inspiration from the best of 2025 to expand the platform’s design capabilities. The result: more refined interfaces, bold new layouts, and an overall optimized user experience. At the same time, new advanced features have been introduced to strengthen GoodBarber’s power and flexibility — both for content apps and commerce apps. In this article, we walk you through the most impactful updates released in 2025.

The payment stage is often the most sensitive part of the online purchasing process. It's here that hesitations arise and cart abandonments multiply. The reason for this? Every customer has their own habits and preferences, and if their preferred payment method isn't available, they're likely to abandon their purchase. To maximize sales, it's essential to offer the payment methods best suited to your audience. A checkout aligned with local practices is not a detail, it's a direct conversion lever. The eCommerce apps created with GoodBarber already integrate a wide choice of payment methods, to meet the most common uses. This offer is regularly enriched, to keep pace with changing habits and enable everyone to adopt the solutions preferred by their customers. Today, new services complete the existing list and further extend the possibilities.

This month at GoodBarber : No major new features to announce. We’ve mainly focused on bug fixes.

The GoodBarber team has just returned from Shift APPens, a tech hackathon organized by jeKnowledge at the University of Coimbra, where we met lots of talented students. Getting back to what happened during the month of April, here are the improvements we made.

In recent weeks, the term "Vibe Coding" has become very popular in the tech world. To understand this phenomenon and find out if it also applies to GoodBarber users, I interviewed Dominique, our CTO.

This month, GoodBarber is setting up in Finland, and we are delighted to announce that GoodBarber is now available in Finnish. Finnish users will be able to use GoodBarber in their language, as well as in the application and back office. We would like to remind you that GoodBarber is compatible with more than 9 languages, including Finnish, and we sincerely thank you, because it is thanks to you that we are constantly evolving. Soon, new languages will be added to GoodBarber, so that each user can use the platform in their mother tongue. If you would like to see your language on GoodBarber, leave a comment under this article.  

At GoodBarber, we know that good design is all about attention to detail. That's why today we're giving you even more control over your app's typography, with two new settings available in the back office: line-height and letter-spacing.
