What's new at GoodBarber? September 2021

Head of Frontend Engineering

This month we're releasing a new feature on our Classic platform, that our Shopping App clients are already familiar with: Universal Links and App Links.

Introduced in 2015 with iOS 9, Universal links  are Apple's method of launching apps on iOS when linked from a website. Android App Links are Google's equivalent to Apple's Universal Links.
These links are a quick and easy way to engage or re-engage users, improve retention and increase conversion.
 
You will find below the summary of the improvements and updates made during the month of September 2021:

Keep listeners loyal between shows with your Mixcloud replays in your app

The short version. Mixcloud is an extension of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that adds a Mixcloud account as the source of an Article section. The section lists the account's public shows, newest first, with their cover, date and tags. Each show opens on its own page, where it plays in Mixcloud's official player, above its description. You connect it with the account name, or the link to its profile: no key and no developer account. It is free for Content apps.Mixcloud extensionSection of the appArticleWhat you enterThe account name, or the link to its profileWhat the app listsThe account's public shows, newest firstWith each showCover, date, tags and descriptionPlaybackMixcloud's official player, on the show's page: no offline or background listeningUpdatesAbout every 30 minutesPriceFree for Content appsMixcloud was built for long-form audio: radio shows, DJ mixes and podcasts.
