A Powerful Section, Simply Called Menu

  Updated   2 min read

Today, let's discover a very powerful section recently added to GoodBarber. It is called Menu and it has only one purpose: to give you the power to create a multi-level navigation inside your app.

9 navigation templates

Menu is a section you use to access other sections.

It comes with nine different navigation templates. Our designers have created four styles with two versions each and, as usual, there is an open html mode for savvy developers :
- Visual / Visual color
- uneGrid / uneGrid color
- Grid / Grid color
- List / List color
- html

But before designing the Menu section, you need to add content to it first.

Sub-sections

Start by adding a Menu section from the content menu. Menu behaves like any other type of section. Name it and position it where you want in your root navigation.

Once you have added a Menu section, you'll see in the contextual panel that it is possible to add sub-sections. Hold the cursor over the name of the Menu section, and click the green Add button.

You can add any type of section into a Menu section, even another Menu section itself, in case you need a deep navigation structure in your app.

Beautiful design

Now that you have added sections into your Menu section, let's see how to design it.

Go to the Design > Advanced and click on the name of your Menu section. 

First of all, you must choose a template. Consider each template as a launcher to open the sections included in Menu. Depending on the style you want to give to your "launcher", you will go for a template where you upload your own images (as in the example above), or use colors and icons (example below).

Contextual settings

Depending on the template you choose, you'll have contextual settings to adjust the design the way you want.

To give you an idea of the endless possibilities you have, let's discuss the example above :
- I have chosen the Grid template.
- I have 5 sections in my Menu.
- I used a different image for each section.
- I have chosen to display the name of the sections.
- I have an image in the background (as you can see, I used a different image for the tablet version of my app).
 
It might be a good idea to make a video to show you how it works in even more depth. What do you think?

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Your Givebutter events and campaigns now show up in your app

The short version. Givebutter Events and Givebutter Campaigns are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read a nonprofit's campaigns on Givebutter. Givebutter Events fills a Calendar section with upcoming events, at their time in the event's time zone, with their location unless you share it with attendees only. Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter. On Giving Tuesday 2025, supporters gave $20 million on the platform, up from $16.4 million in 2024, from more than 93,000 donors across 16,000 active campaigns, according to Givebutter's recap published on December 8, 2025.
