Operation Magnets Storm!

About a month ago, we sent more than 500 GoodBarber magnets with thank you postcards signed by the entire team to 12 different countries, on 4 continents, in the Atlantic (Caribbean) and Pacific (Polynesia). The target: our user community.

Here’s a summary of the operation stages with no less than a month and a half for preparation: card design and production, sign each card by every team member (it’s not an easy task), purchase stamps for 3 different destinations (France, Europe, rest of the world), manual preparation of envelopes, and shipping.
We wanted to express our friendship and appreciation for our user community by giving each user some special attention in a way in which we thought was pretty uncommon on the Internet. We appear to have achieved our goal. The feedback has given us inspiration and encourages us to continue down this path.

The illustration above is a sample of the photos we received, thank you Jeremy Wagemans nighttunes.org, Sadayuki Matsumoto xtone.co.jp , Roxanne Varza techbaguette.com , Jerome Bouteiller Net Media Europe , “U Sgaiuffu” apiazzetta.com , Koyolite Tseila legaliondesetoiles.com , Lucia Mattei lejidd.com , and everyone else. If you haven’t received your GoodBarber envelope, it’s likely that it was lost in transit… : ( Let us know!

And continue to send us your photos!

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.
