GoodBarber: Native iOS/Android/PWA from one back office

The Breakthrough

GoodBarber enables creation of native iOS apps in Swift, native Android apps in Kotlin, and progressive web apps from one unified back office.

What Actually Worked

• Users select app type (content or eCommerce) and start from templates, then customize global design system for colors, fonts, buttons, borders, shadows, icons, and themes via a single menu; AI palette generator creates professional visual identities.
• App structure uses visual sections for articles, videos, events, maps, forms, homepage, tutorials, premium courses, recommended tools, and contact pages; preview updates in real time without managing navigation files or build configs.
• Activate 190+ extensions directly in project, including memberships for free/premium content locking, analytics, monetization, WordPress/RSS/Squarespace/Zapier/Make integrations.
• Built-in AI Assistant in CMS generates text, completes writing, summarizes, translates, or changes tone for articles, lessons, or product descriptions.
• Add ChatGPT extension with custom brief for branded tone, or RAG Chatbot that answers from app's published content like articles, events, and maps.
• eCommerce handles catalog management, shipping, local delivery, in-store pickup, delivery tracking without platform commissions.
• Low-code options include custom code sections, widgets, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and developer tools; reseller plan offers white-label for agencies.

Context

The author demos GoodBarber as a solution to building cross-platform mobile apps without stitching web, iOS, and Android separately, targeting content creators, coaches, eCommerce businesses, and agencies. Workflow starts on desktop back office: design, add sections/extensions, preview, publish to App Store/Google Play/web (self or via GoodBarber Takes Care service using user's developer accounts). Content apps start at $30/month yearly, eCommerce at $40/month, reseller at $215/month; free 30-day trial requires no credit card. Platform ships polished apps faster than full-code for standard use cases like memberships, courses, local commerce.
