As you may have noticed with all the (many) design updates, at GoodBarber we strongly believe that design and the experience delivered to your users contribute to your success. Whether you own content apps or eCommerce, you probably use an Articles or Blog section. So we have good news for you!  We released another beautiful and innovative template just for you.

This brand new list template for your Articles section, not only looks stunning but also brings you additional cool features and much more possibilities, both on the content side and on the design side.

Check out our video below to see how it looks and read below for more details on this new template. 
 

What's new with this template?

So, on the Content/Feature side, you have now much more possibilities compared to the other templates:
  • You can add token info above the title, below the title, and at the bottom of the cell 
  • Possibility to add the author and their avatar :)
  • There are no more limits on the title. The title is now displayed in its entirety.
  • The main actions, bookmarks, and comments are displayed directly in the list. By browsing the list of your articles, your users will be able to see the number of comments and comment on your articles, but also bookmark or share them with one click. 
    As you can see, this template is perfect if you create fresh and regularly updated content.

On the Design side, this new template offers a smart and modern layout. 

This layout adapts to whether or not you are using or not margins in the app (the margin creates a "frame" around the content elements). As you can see in the video above, no matter the settings the design is always beautiful and uniform. You can read more about how we manage margins on our Design System page
Finally, it’s not just a new template. With this one, you benefit from a new generation of cells that follows all the main principles of our design system. This cell is more clever and customizable than any of our previous templates. 

How to apply this template?

If you want to use this new template in your app, it's easy! Go to the menu My App > Structure > and choose the section to which you want to apply the template. Then click on List of Articles. You can now choose and set your Enriched Classic template.

Your Twitch live streams and videos, now in your app

The short version. Twitch is an extension of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that adds a Twitch channel as the source of a Video section. When the channel is live, the stream sits at the top of the section; the rest of the time, the section lists the channel's videos. You connect it once, with a Client ID and a Client Secret from Twitch's developer console. It is free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.The audience is on Twitch. In September 2026, viewers watched 1.51 billion hours of live streams there, with 2.1 million people watching at any given moment on average, according to TwitchTracker. Here is how the extension plays out for a creator who goes live every Tuesday at 8 pm.

Turn documents into answers with GoodBarber Chatbot

In any app, publishing a useful document is only part of the job. People also need to find the right information when they are about to act. A clearly named file helps someone browsing a library, but a reader may arrive with a more immediate question.Employee communication is only one possible application. The same approach can support learning resources, member guides, technical references or any other useful documents shared through an app. For our example, consider a colleague trying to book a client trip who needs to know:Which travel expenses need prior approval?We have added document sources to GoodBarber Chatbot so that the files you already maintain can support these conversations. You select the documents. Users ask in their own words. The assistant looks for relevant passages and uses them to build a response.The question becomes a way into the policy. Employees can start with the decision in front of them, even when they do not know the title of the document that explains it.

Siri Actions: ask your GoodBarber iOS app for its latest article or video

Siri Actions now answers two new questions: the latest article and the latest video in a section of a GoodBarber iOS app. Siri names the item and offers to open it by voice. They reach every app with its next store update. Siri Actions is the set of questions a GoodBarber iOS app answers out loud, for newspapers, radio stations, schools, organizations and any app that publishes content. Its first question, "What's new", gives an overview of your home screen. When we launched it in September 2026, we said the next one would be the latest article in a section. Here it is, and the latest video comes with it. Each goes straight to one item and offers to open it. Your audience goes from a question to the article in a single conversation, without searching for it.
