This month, we are thrilled to announce the launch of GoodBarber Open, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at providing developers and advanced users of GoodBarber with greater autonomy in customizing their applications. The result of a year-long project led by our technical teams, GoodBarber Open embodies our commitment to fostering creativity and flexibility in application development. Through this initiative, developers and expert users benefit from unprecedented freedom to manipulate code and configuration files.   Below you'll find a summary of developments and updates carried out during the month of January 2024:

We recently introduced you to some new designs for your event lists and article lists. Today we're building on that success with a brand new template for eCommerce apps: the Condensed template for displaying your product lists.

The year 2024 kicks off with the release of a wide range of new features eagerly awaited by developers and GoodBarber power users. Thanks to these new features, the possibilities for customization, adding code to your app and integration are multiplied tenfold.

In the dynamic landscape of mobile applications, creators invest significant time and resources in developing innovative content apps, often with the expectation of turning their passion into a lucrative venture. While monetization is readily associated with e-commerce platforms, where revenue stems from the sale of goods, the potential for profit in the realm of content apps often goes overlooked. Many monetization strategies exist beyond the conventional app development model, offering app creators diverse avenues to generate income. 

This month, we are delighted to announce the launch of a highly requested feature that adds a new dimension of customization to the home pages of your applications: the Text widget! Designed for eCommerce and content applications, the Text widget provides the freedom to add free-form text directly to the homepage of your application. Below you'll find a summary of developments and updates carried out during the month of December 2023:  

Many of you have requested the ability to add free-form text to the Home pages of your apps. This is now possible with the brand new Text widget! Available for eCommerce and content apps, it allows you to add text freely to the homepage of your application. It may seem simple, but do not underestimate the potential of this widget, which can have a myriad of uses! Whether it's for introducing yourself, presenting a section of your app, providing instructions, or simply for aesthetic reasons, it will serve you well. The Text widget allows you to add a title, body text, and even a redirection button. From the back office panel, you can set the alignment of your text, the color, size, and font of the title and body text, the color of links, and, of course, configure your button.

Goodbye 2023 and welcome 2024 !  The GoodBarber team wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead. May your year be filled with joy, love and success.   

The GoodBarber team wishes you a merry Christmas and warm wishes, enjoy your holidays with a good hot chocolate under a blanket ;)
