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.
