GoodBarber 4.0 | Next Generation Apps

Written by Jerome Granados on Monday, April 3rd 2017

Today, GoodBarber is getting a major update. GoodBarber 4.0 aims at revolutionizing the way you create apps.

In 10 years, apps have changed the way we use the web. A very limited space—a small screen—and a not so precise pointer—the finger—have pushed designers to come up with radically new user interfaces. Clean and intuitive, over the years, they’ve imposed their standards on larger screens.
