September is already over, so it's time to take a look at what our developer teams did this month.  Below you'll find a summary of the developments and updates made in September, 2018:

It's back to school at GoodBarber! As you know, we never stop working on improvements to allow you to go further with your apps, and August was no different.  Below you'll find a summary of developments and updates made throughout August 2018:

More and more of you are shifting over to Progressive Web Apps and we couldn't be happier about it. Your feedback has allowed us to identify which aspects of PWAs to work on in order to provide you with a tool that meets your needs as much as possible.  This month, we worked on two points concerning PWAs that came directly from your suggestions. 

It's time to introduce you to the latest version of one of our advanced add-ons: Live +  For those who aren't familiar with this add-on, it's an audio player that allows you to broadcast an M3U feed and to display metadata associated with the track being played, such as the title, name of the artist, and album cover. 

You probably guessed that May 2018 was a busy month, mainly because of the release of GoodBarber 4.5, the all-new version of our platform. This version of GoodBarber takes your back office productivity to a new level while delivering more highly performing apps than ever.  Our back offices were optimized so that despite the constant expansion of the range of functionalities, you'll always have a smooth user experience.  Design and content elements have been reorganized, allowing you to be more productive than ever. Here's a summary of what's new: A new custom theme builder A more intuitive way to add content More advanced design options A new space dedicated to defining all the settings of your app

As we announced a few days ago, April was marked by big news for Progressive Web App enthusiasts: Service Worker compatibility with iOS!  The compatibility of this script with iOS opens the doors to a number of development possibilities and allows PWAs to live up to all of their promises on Apple devices using Safari. 

As you know, it's always been our goal to provide you with the best tools possible so you can bring a perfect experience to your users. To keep this promise, we're always making sure that GoodBarber is at the forefront of all new innovations and trends.  The end of 2017 was marked by a new release at Apple, promising their users an even more immersive experience: the iPhone X.   This new release (which is far from already being adopted by the most well-known applications on the market), represents a good opportunity to differentiate yourselves by making apps that are totally adapted to this new format. Our iOS team is happy to now offer you a version of your app that's 100% adapted to the iPhone X. 

Here at GoodBarber, the month of February was marked by our annual Mobile World Congress  attendance. Going to this type of event takes several days of preparation, but represents an opportunity to meet loyal clients and new players in the industry, as well as those who have been...

At the beginning of this year, we emphasized one aspect that is extremely important to us : the design of your applications. As you know, the backbone of GoodBarber is allowing you to create the most beautiful apps, as easily as possible.  The most recent backend feature came from this...

This month we focused on your app's central point: the Modular Home. With the goals of widening your range of options and allowing you to create the perfect home screen for your app always in mind, we worked on 3 new widgets that will open the doors in terms of engagement, user experience, and design. 

This year's big update was the release of our new product: Progressive Web Apps, and as you know, here at GoodBarber we strongly believe that PWA's are about to revolutionize the way we use both mobile and web. We are committed to giving you the opportunity to enjoy today what everyone will be snatching up tomorrow, which is focused strongly on developments specific to PWA's over the past few months. 

Still continuing with the objective of offering you the best tool to create your app, we dedicated the month of June, 2017 to improving and optimizing the 4th version of GoodBarber. In addition to fixing bugs and other various improvements, this month's work concentrated heavily on the intuitiveness of the back office, specific features, and design improvements, for example the revision of the Articles list templates. 

Following the release of GoodBarber 4.0, we've paid special attention to our users' feedback. With your suggestions in mind, May 2017 has been all about optimization, to improve the back office intuitiveness as well as the tools available to conceptualize your app. In the meantime, our goal remains the same: allowing you to create apps which cater to your needs, while keeping things simple.
