GoodBarber vs Glide

After Bubble, which forced us to think in terms of logic and structure, and Base44, which started the project with a prompt, Glide asks another, much more direct question: Does your data already exist somewhere? If the answer is yes, Glide promises to turn it into an application in no time. This is at the heart of Glide's current positioning: to create data-driven business apps and workflows from existing sources, with a very web app and business use-oriented logic. This is precisely what makes the comparison with GoodBarber so interesting. With GoodBarber, the starting point is a mobile experience to be built. With Glide, the starting point is often a set of already available data to be put into shape. In other words, the starting point is not the same, and this discrepancy is enough to produce two very different types of application. To provide a concrete comparison of the two platforms, we have used the same use case as in the rest of this series: AURORA - Luxury Guide. This…

GoodBarber vs Base44

GoodBarber vs Base44: the comparison highlights two very different ways of creating an application. The choice depends above all on what you want from the tool: a very rapid generation by prompt| or a more supervised construction | a rapid prototype | or a mobile application to be published and developed over time.

Best practices to set up your RAG Chatbot using GoodBarber

GoodBarber's RAG Chatbot extension turns your app into an intelligent assistant that answers user questions based on your own content — articles, events, and map points. But getting the best results requires understanding a few key configuration choices. Two questions come up repeatedly from GoodBarber users: "How far will my 5,000 monthly credits go?" and "Why isn't my chatbot finding the right content?" The answers lie in how you configure your setup. In this guide, we break down the credit system, explain the often-misunderstood Items Per Feed setting, and walk you through customizing your chatbot's personality with a well-crafted system prompt. Whether you are evaluating the RAG Chatbot extension or have already subscribed, this article will help you avoid common pitfalls and get the most out of every credit.

Satispay now available in your GoodBarber app thanks to Stripe Extended

The payment stage is often the most sensitive part of the online purchasing process. It's here that hesitations arise and cart abandonments multiply. The reason for this? Every customer has their own habits and preferences, and if their preferred payment method isn't available, they're likely to abandon their purchase. For retailers targeting the Italian market, this is a particularly concrete reality. Offering the right payment solutions, the ones your customers use every day, is not a detail: it's a direct conversion lever. The eCommerce apps created with GoodBarber already integrate a wide choice of payment methods, to meet the most common uses. This offer is regularly enriched, to keep pace with changing habits and enable everyone to adopt the solutions preferred by their customers. Today, Satispay joins the list - a new option available thanks to the Stripe Extended extension.

Creating your first app without being a developer: Steffen's feedback

Creating an application is often perceived as a complex project, reserved for developers or highly technical profiles. However, some creators simply set out with an idea in mind... and a lot of questions. It was during an exchange with the support team that we discovered Steffen Trawinski's story. In developing his first app with GoodBarber, Steffen wanted to share his experience, precisely to help others overcome their doubts and project themselves more serenely into the creation of an application. With no prior development experience, he designed and published TalkBoost, now available on the App Store (and could just as easily be offered on Google Play, thanks to GoodBarber technology). In this interview, Steffen talks about his background, motivations and feedback.
