What’s the future for native mobile applications? Will HTML5 replace native applications? Which would you prefer to use when you’ve decided to position yourself on mobiles? It’s been an ongoing debate in the community of developers for a long time. In order to address both sides of the discussion, we intend to answer to the following questions: What distinguishes the two technologies? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages?

Today, November 14th 2011, GoodBarber has finally opened its doors. Software as a Service, 100% native apps, no programming, DIY, multi-platform capabilities, and a 100% industrialized system.   That’s the backbone of a technology that allows anyone to create his or her own native application. With GoodBarber, create professional quality apps and distribute them in the App Store (Apple), Android Market (Google) or Marketplace (Microsoft).   Attention bloggers, public figures, media, journalists, and news publishers: GoodBarber will amaze your readers.

We’ve designed GoodBarber to be very user-friendly. You’re able to create your own native app in less than 5 minutes. Here’s proof with the iOS application of the TechBaguette blog! When we started thinking about GoodBarber, we wanted to create a powerful app builder  that would allow as much customization of your mobile application as you wish. But we also made sure it would be very simple to use. In fact, it’s so simple that you can create a native app in less than 5 minutes! Thanks to Roxanne Varza, of TechBaguette, who put us to the challenge. There’s proof!
