Basecamp: The people's path to Basecamp We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine For many, tools like Asana, Trello, Notion, , , and Slack were underwhelming stops along the road before finally arriving at . Comics Before finally landing on , went through tools like Jira, Slack, and plain old email. First there were Emails + Meetings Fine for a while, but eventually not enough. Google Docs didn't do it More documents and spreadsheets didn't make things better. Next it was Slack Chat made communication faster than email, but there's so much more to collaborating than just talking. Then got a shot Too technical, too task-oriented. Finally, found Basecamp "Basecamp is my second brain, it's where I go to document upcoming features, build user stories, and track work. I couldn't get by without Basecamp!" -Brian Garside, Manage Comics Start your path with Basecamp Brett Robison Tinnacity Tinnacity's path is a common one of combining multiple tools only to find more isn't better. They did try Basecamp early, but left to play the field a bit. But after exploring other tools, they circled back and rediscovered Basecamp. The rest is history. They tried Trello + Slack Trello for tracking work and Slack for communications didn't cut it. Then switched to Basecamp Next they gave Basecamp a try but it didnt't stick. Yet. Next they tried Airtable + Slack Back to a combo, this time Airtable and Slack. But again, not right. Notion + Slack came next They kept and swapped in Notion for Airtable. But still, too many holes. Finally, back to just Basecamp for good "Eventually we landed back on because we like the peacefulness of it (versus Slack status and getting interrupted ). We really enjoy To-dos and Automatic Check-ins to keep our company connected." -Brett Robison, Tinnacity Start your path with Straight from the Heart A common path from texting and email through a handful of popular tools, only to continually feel like something was lacking. Until they tried Basecamp. Started with Texts + Emails "We started with texting and email but it just got too crazy and messy." Next, moved to "We didn't use it for long because it was just like emails and texting. We wanted to be able to do more (documents, lists, etc)." Then over to Slack Chat was chaotic and inadequate. Then layered-in "Slack + Google Drive gave us documents with communication, but the project part was lacking." Maybe would do it? Nope. "Just fell short of what we were looking to do." Finally, they found Basecamp "Once we used Basecamp, it had everything we wanted. Thanks for a wonderful product and giving a nonprofit discount. We wouldn't be able to afford without it, but also wouldn't be functioning as sufficiently. Forever thankful!" -Dan Unger, Straight from the Heart Start your path with Basecamp Johanne Brierre NYbeautysuites A friend recommended Basecamp to after her false starts with Slack, Asana, and Google Docs. First up was Slack Needed more than chat. Then it was Asana Not the right fit. She tried Google Docs Wasn't getting it done. Then her friend recommended Basecamp "My friend , who runs a digital agency, recommended Basecamp to me. It's become a game-changer - one of the best platforms for managing a small team, especially for women founders like myself." -Johanne Brierre, NYbeautysuites Start your path with Basecamp After a number of false starts and frustrations - even building their own app - they finally found Basecamp, the perfect hassle-free solution they needed. They began with WhatsApp "Our first attempt. We realized that the easier the access to chat, the less we produced." Gave Slack a shot "Too much chat, but we started to understand the value of organized debates." Moved over to Notion "Wow, we could document here! But there were too many features, it was hard to know where to start." Even built their own app! "We built an asynchronous app (a bold move, huh! lol), but it still lacked balance." Tried out Teams " Teams has everything you need, they said. We found the interruptions via chat, video, audio outweighed collaboration." Simple, distraction-free, with only the essentials "A friend introduced me to Basecamp. It was simple and distraction-free. It doesn't have all the features I might want - and that's exactly why it's so good. It focuses only on the essentials." -Fernando <PERSON>, Start your path with Basecamp Another common path through some big names and popular options, but they kept running into needless complexity and chaos along the way. Basecamp was their simple salvation. First they tried Trello Started here in , was simple to use for Kanban-type features but at the time it lacked some features which took us to . Then came Started getting chaotic for roadmap and feature planning. Items were lost, the card view was confusing to use. Slack got a swing Too many channels (more channels than employees) as it morphed into a task management product. Didn't work for task management. Then it was Notion Style was too free-form, pages took a long time to load, OK for help center & internal documentation but not for collaboration and task management (which is what we needed). Basecamp just made sense " We landed with Basecamp for simplicity and ease of use. Pricing helped too, fair pricing and scales with us. With Basecamp our team is more focused (less distracted than with Slack) and can get tasks done in their own focused time." -Alex , Start your path with Basecamp Ryan Almusawi Clarion Accounting Like so many others, they bounced around from one tool to the next, never finding the perfect fit - until they discovered Basecamp. They started out with Texts "Vital details vanish into the void, leaving us piecing things together like a mystery. It's too unreliable to trust with our business operations." Then they moved on to ClickUp "A labyrinth of endless features that suffocates simplicity. We spent more time figuring it out than actually getting work done." Next up, it was Notion "Notifications are a lost cause, like shouting into the void. If we can't rely on it to nudge us, what's the point?" And over to Airtable "Just Google Sheets in fancy clothing, trying too hard to be what it isn't. We needed solutions, not repackaging." Then they gave Slack a try "Chaos disguised as communication. It's noisy, overwhelming, and managing external clients was a nightmare - they struggled to learn the platform and rarely used it consistently." Finally, they discovered Basecamp "Overall, Basecamp just gets us - it's simple, clear, and keeps everything running smoothly without us pulling our hair out. Even our clients love it; no confusion, no hassle, just seamless communication and a sense of calm we didn't know we needed. It's been a game-changer. " -Ryan Almusawi, Clarion Accounting Start your path with Basecamp Ian Parsons Matogen Digital Fun path! Lots of trials and combinations and trying to stick multiple tools together only to find out that complexity never pays off. That's why Matogen Digital traded up for the simplicity of Basecamp. Got started with Email + Todos The standard one-two punch of email and simple to-dos. Then layered in Google Sheets They needed to track some stuff, so here comes the spreadsheet. Next it was Asana They needed something more sophisticated, so they gave Asana a try. Then got a shot was put in place to replace everything else, but it fell flat. Then back to Slack + Asana Asana enters the picture again, this time paired with Slack for chat. Then Jira + Slack + Asana Now they added to the mix. Things are getting messy and complicated. Too many tools. Eventually, they dropped everything and picked up Basecamp When you can replace , , and with one product, it's a very good day. That's exactly what did when he went with Basecamp. "Thanks for keeping things simple." -Ian Parsons, Matogen Digital Start your path with Basecamp <PERSON> kept trying Slack plus something else, including together, but in the end, alone was the sole survivor. It did everything, simpler. First was Asana + Slack A common pairing because each is deficient at what the other offers. Then Notion + Slack Slack stayed, but Notion replaced Asana. But it didn't pan out. Then a Basecamp + Slack combo Next, Basecamp entered the picture, but Slack stayed too. Ultimately, Basecamp replaced them all In the end, it was better to have everything in one tool, in one place. And since offers real-time chat, DMing, and external integrations, Slack was no longer needed at all. , your path with Basecamp involve marketing GmbH Starting with emails and tons of meetings, and team cycled though Slack and Teams, before falling back to email. Then they discovered Basecamp. They started with Email Email "and tons of meetings". A common starting point. They gave Slack a shot Ineffective chaos - the worst kind of busy. Next, it was Microsoft Teams Similiar to Slack, but part of the Microsoft stack. It didn't work for all the same reasons. Then back to for a bit Once the tools failed them, they fell back to old habits. Finally, they found Basecamp "And here the journey ends. Thank god." , involve marketing GmbH Start your path with Basecamp Helen Ryan Flex Design Group A bunch of tries lead to a bunch of letdowns. Until she found the right fit in . They started with Trello "Too basic". Then came Notion "Too heavy". was next "Too much". Asana got a try "Not quite right". They even tried "Not strong enough". Finally, found Basecamp "I was looking for a simple solution that was easy for both me and clients to keep track of work." , Flex Design Group Start your path with Basecamp Doug Seidl Straight-up Digital Marketing Doug's path rolls through many of the usual suspects like Trello, ClickUp, and Notion, but ultimately after finding frustration and sliding back to email, found Basecamp. Things started with A common starting spot, especially when just starting out and basic communication is all you need. Then, they tried Trello Kanban just wasn't enough. Next it was 's turn It had a lot more, but too much more. More isn't better when it gets in the way. Then again Back to good old (but messy) email. Then it was Notion Was a document-centric approach the right one? No, it wasn't. Nope, back to Email An old standby gets called off the bench once again. But the same weakness emerge. Finally, they found Basecamp "Best solution for what I do that I've tried… and one clients ACTUALLY participate in when I need that." -Doug Seidl, Straight-up Digital Marketing Start your path with Basecamp Lucien Odey Projektt Technologies This one features a relapse to Jira + Confluence, only to realize it didn't work the second time for the same reasons it didn't work the first time. Then they found their fit in . First up, it was Jira + Confluence They used Jira + Confluence together, but "left because they were too fiddly". Then they tried Microsoft Azure Boards Looking for something more Kanban-esque, they went with Azure Boards, but "the UI was cluttered with tons of Microsoft services". Then back to didn't pan out, they went back to Jira + Confluence but it "encouraged the wrong engineering mindset". Like returning to a bad relationship, the second time around didn't work for the same reasons as the first time. Finally, found Basecamp "I think it's great. You guys have built a fantastic product. The most interesting 'feature' for me is the disciplined thinking it encourages. There's something about that focused UI view when creating a new message or doc that forces better writing from me. Its value is actually pretty hard to capture in words. Perhaps best say 'it makes me think better.'

Basecamp: How we work We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- There are a couple truths about working at 37signals that cause my friends to cock their heads in confusion. One of those truths is that we have an active comic book & video game chat room. Another is that we have no full time managers . "Who's responsible for who does what!" is a common, incredulous question. My response is, well, everyone! Everyone's responsible for the charter of their team and the quality and momentum of projects. And everyone at the company is conscientious and comfortable being individually accountable for their work and impact. That's not to say that we're all on our own with no guidance or camaraderie. Senior staff mentor more junior staff . Our small team structure provides support and community in our can-be-isolating remote environment. Sticky performance problems are bubbled up to senior leadership to handle. Hiring and on-boarding new employees is a joint effort. We also use a number of mechanisms to assume some tasks that would typically fall to a manager. In place of stand-ups or status checks, we employ the automatic check-in feature in . Everyone's expected to answer a question about what they worked on. It keeps us accountable, our work visible, and focused on work, not meetings. We also use Heartbeats and Kickoffs to communicate what we're working on and the impact it's had. At cycle , each team writes a kickoff outlining planned work. At the end of the cycle, we write a corresponding heartbeat summarizing what we accomplished. , , and discussed Heartbeats and Kickoffs in depth in the latest episode of the REWORK podcast . Like check-ins, heartbeats and kickoffs are shared widely at the company. They offer a comprehensive look into what others are working on, what went well, and what didn't. They're a chance to celebrate the work of each individual on the team. And they act as a durable record of progress over the course of , even in our case. While many companies couldn't operate without their managers, we've found it works for us. Even if you're ride or die for your managers, it's possible to distribute some of that important work to the eager members of your team! Streamline status checks in . Or give a version of heartbeats or kickoffs a try, if your team would benefit from the act of writing and sharing their plans and achievements. Some recent updates and news Give Pings a Name We use the Basecamp Pings feature a lot at 37signals. Pings are great for real-time communication, when you want to hash out something quickly 1-to-1 or in a small group. Now you can assign names and pictures to Pings, to make them easier to spot in your Hey menu. Keep in mind, everyone on the Ping can see the title and image you select. So maybe save the especially clever names for your co-worker buddies group ping. Journal for HEY Calendar HEY Calendar is a lot more than just events on a schedule. You can track time, log habits, and add tasks - all in one place. Now, it's even more personal with the addition of Journal, a dedicated spot for notes.

Basecamp: The art of problem restatement We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- I'm having a tough time writing this newsletter. No particular reason, but an opening isn't coming to me as easily as it usually does. I've written and deleted 5 paragraphs in . I was starting to get frustrated, ready to set this whole task aside until . But sometimes writing through the frustration is a valuable exercise. Getting words down on paper, in the hopes that a direction will reveal itself. I write newsletters to share information with you, but also to share process. Offer a glimpse behind the scenes of our small company and how we make software. And sometimes process is messy and malleable. My writing process, to be sure! But even our own product development process at 37signals. We run into problems that need a fix in the course of building & maintaining our apps, and we consider different paths before landing on the one that leads us to the just-right solution. At 37signals, we talk often internally about applying 'judo' in our process. is the art of problem restatement. When our programmers and designers run into a bug or a feature that needs retooling, there are usually multiple ways to address the issue. One could of potentially deeply repercussive work. Another might take , using the tools and structure we already have in place. We much prefer the simpler approach. The end result tends to be as good an experience as if we took the more complex route. The practice is efficient, but it's also clever and fun. Like when it's 7:00pm, you forgot to stop at the grocery store, and your kids are waiting for dinner. You judo the situation, raid your fridge, and get creative! The meal might end up being quite simple, using what you have on hand, but it's just as nourishing as an elaborate dinner, and you didn't spend an outsized amount of time or effort on the problem. isn't a last resort shortcut, but a skill that we celebrate at 37signals and encourage our employees to hone. This newsletter edition is my attempt at judoing writer's block! Are there problems that come up in your work where you can you step back, simplify what needs to be done, and take a fresh approach? Some recent updates and news New in HEY: Bubble Up Now You've always been able to use the Bubble Up feature to schedule messages to float to the top of your Imbox. Now you can bubble up emails immediately so they sit at the top of your screen until you dismiss them. I use Bubble Up Now like a to-do list. Emails come in that I need to respond to, so I make sure they stay bubbled up to the top where I can see them & reply when I have time throughout my day.

Basecamp: Meetings you hate, and how to avoid them We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- Everywhere you look, people are ranting about meetings - hours of your life you won't get back, no time to get RealWork™ done, videoconference fatigue… But just saying you hate them won't make them go away. Here are three common meetings you hate, and how to avoid them: The Team Update Usually held , the agenda is always the same. You go around the room (or, "around the horn" if your boss think's they're a former ship's captain), and tell everyone what you've been working on. The trickiest part of this is how long you ramble on. , and the boss thinks you've been slacking. and your team will accuse you of brown-nosing and standing between them and lunch. How to avoid it: Start writing, and reading. A shared document (or a check-in, in ), will take care of this nicely as long as you follow the two important steps. Step one, you have to write one. Step two, read what others have written. , our head of people, wrote a great post , reminding us what a good check-in looks like. The Planning Meeting You could have anywhere from six to 600 people in this one, but either way, don't let the number of people fool you. There's no work happening here. This is the meeting about the work. There's a slide deck that someone will read page by page, verbatim, including, the timeline for for the gantt chart, the most recent update, and the schedule of future update meetings and pre-meeting updates. How to avoid it: Make a project with everything people need to see and know about it. When people ask you questions about the timeline, point them to the project. When someone is looking for the file for the thing, point them to the project. When someone sends you a meeting request… you get the idea. This Could Have Been an Email A close cousin to the Planning Meeting, this meeting could have been summed up in a 2-line email, but instead it's a meeting. But you should be grateful, because the ended it early and the organizer "gave you back." How to avoid it: Was it even worth an email? Or was it just a thought you could have kept to yourself? Just kidding. Start a new trend, write a quick note, and be done with it. Express your gratitude by reading the notes that others send to you. Thoughts we've shared Paranoia and desperation in the AI gold rush I've never seen so much paranoia in technology about missing out on The Next Big Thing as with AI. Companies seem less excited about the prospects than they are petrified that its going to kill them. Maybe that fear is justified, maybe it's not, but what's incontestable is the kind of desperation it's leading to. - The subtle art of staying out of it On the REWORK Podcast, we talk about the importance of stepping out of the day-to-day operations as a founder. Giving employees room to call the shots can spark new ideas and get things done faster. It also inspires people to think beyond just following orders. Things we're excited about You just went viral, now what? At 37signals, we recently had a video pop off . It was exciting to witness people respond so positively to something that I was proud of. We didn't work too hard on it, it just sorta happened because we were having fun. As the video climbed in views, shares, and compliments from strangers, I noticed myself getting high on my own supply. Checking LinkedIn, X, and TikTok for another hit. Letting it all go to my head . - The next ONCE product… Did you catch the announcement ? It won't be long now til you can get your very own copy of Writebook - for free!

Basecamp: All about HEY! We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- , a friend told me about their "burner email" account. It's an email address you use to sign up for all the stuff that makes you have an account, even though you don't really want one. Or maybe the email you use only buying things online? Or to sign up for "free" stuff? Somewhere along the line, inboxes have turned into a chaotic mess, where every day you go through a morning routine of deleting the ads from stores you bought from that one time, emails you never asked for and newsletters you quit reading . You try to make sure you don't delete the more important stuff. From screening out spam to grouping similar types of messages (receipts, newsletters, reply-laters), HEY gives you control of your (or, Imbox, as we call it), with a few easy steps. You don't even have to give up your Gmail address. And sure, other email programs let you say "no" to certain senders, but only HEY lets you say "F$% no!" And if you're running a business, you really don't have time for nonsense. HEY's contacts and workflows features were built with organizing and streamlining email for small businesses in mind. But don't just take our word for it. Here's what a long-time HEY user and solopreneur says about it. By the way, if you've tried HEY and thought, "What it really needs is a calendar!" We agree! Coming soon to a mailbox near you! Thoughts we've shared In the newest REWORK Podcast episode , and delve into the concept of eggs-those hidden surprises that infuse a touch of edgy enjoyment into software, and how this feature has emerged as a compelling reason for both newcomers and returning users to explore HEY as their email solution. Things we're excited about All this talk about email got our creative sparks going and unleashed a series of hilarious videos answering burning questions like… There's a screen separating you and your inbox, but what if you actually had to hang out with your email? Yikes! What if we sent researchers out on an expedition to uncover how early cave people sent email? Until next time, - , COO at 37signals


Basecamp: Our best meet-up ever We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- , we held our semi-annual meet-up in . It was our best meet-up ever, which is saying something because we've been doing them at least twice a year for ! So, what's a meet-up? 37signals is a fully remote company - no office headquarters. We have about 60 employees who work from their home offices throughout 19 countries. A little over half of our staff hails from , and the rest are distributed throughout , , , and . We cover a lot of time zones, so the bulk of our work is done using asynchronous communication . But twice a year we meet in person for to engage in some valuable face to face time. We meet in a different city every time, usually in and in . The primary goal of the meet-up is building camaraderie in a work context. Meeting new people, seeing old colleagues, forming relationships and strengthening existing ones. We accomplish this by providing a ton of free time. The meet-up agenda has a few mandatory events - the All Hands address on , lightning talks on , and the closing peer recognition & milestone anniversary celebration on . Those 3 events account for of a event. The rest of the time is up to individuals and teams to decide how to make the most of our short time together. Most often that means our teams are meeting to talk about how a project is going, or to discuss their strategy for long-term work, or to hash out a recent problem. I sat in on a meeting in with Customer Support managers and some Principal Programmers in which they discussed changing how issues are bubbled up from the Support team to our On Call programmers. They came up with a new, improved process almost immediately. But then they sat together for , asked questions, and learned from each other about each team's relationship to On Call. The process update could have happened in , from our home offices, in . The rest of the meeting - the slower, less purposeful, valuable conversation - maybe not so much. That said, we also encourage social time! Putting away the laptop, getting outside, exploring the city we've all traveled to, and talking about things unrelated to work. We provide a couple planned excursions and small group dinners, and people have the option to sign up for what interests them. In , a group took a boat ride on the river, another took an architectural tour of Habitat 67, and a huge cohort attended the home opener for the hockey team. We also provide a space for socializing within the workspace. In we had a full café to ourselves. Plenty of comfortable seating for impromptu chatting over what turned out to be an absurdly good pistachio latté. So why was this meet-up, of the nearly 30 I've personally planned, our very best? This meet-up was a definitive return to quality. We booked a meeting venue that is historic, inspirational, and offers unparalleled service. We stayed a hotel 150m from the meeting space for easy access back and forth, and with the comfort amenities we like. We searched high & low for a caterer with restaurant quality food, instead of typical corporate caterers who seem to all have the same recipe for overcooked steamed vegetables with gelatinous "cheese" sauce. We brought in our own furniture , to make the auditorium space softer, very comfortable. And we used a highly professional audio-visual company to run our presentations. Anyone who's planned an event - personally or professionally - knows the basic list of vendors is non-negotiable. But the spectrum of quality for venues, food, and services is massive. For a long time, we stayed safely in the middle of that spectrum, sometimes erring too far on the lower end, for the sake of the budget. In we purposely went higher end, for the sake of our experience. And it worked. The overall experience enhanced our time together and by extension, our working together. People wanted to hang out in the gorgeous space to meet. The venue was energizing - the opposite of a draining, fluorescent-lit hotel conference room. Everyone stayed for lunch because the food was so good, instead of venturing out to nearby restaurants and fracturing . The presentations went off without a hitch which made them light, fun, and engaging. As we begin planning our Spring 2025 meet-up, we're looking to replicate our experience in by building an event that inspires us. It's the only proper setting, really, for the incredible work done by our teams every day.

Basecamp: It's (past) time to cut costs We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- It's not your imagination. Things have gotten pretty expensive. , I paid $50 for take-out tacos! Tacos! Inflation has increased the cost of living by almost 20% in the since . But it's not just here. You can compare global inflation by country on the Financial Times website. So whether you're a solopreneur or a team of hundreds, it feels like it's (past) time to be cutting unnecessary costs. , the 37signals Operations team got us off the cloud, which is saving more than $7 million . Here are a few other ways to think about how to get leaner: 1. Always be looking at expenses It's hard to sit on the couch for and start to get up and try to run. But if you're constantly exercising, it's a lot easier to do better and feel comfortable adapting to a new reality. 2. Practice making more than you spend Speaking of forming habits, if your habit is spending money, then that's what you'll be good at. It's actually the easier thing to do. The harder thing is to make more money than you spend. But, if you don't practice, how would you ever expect to be good at that? 3. What's that thing really worth? Look at something, and ask yourself if it's worth it. Do the math. If it's $90000, and that's of a developer's time, are you getting worth of similar value out of this thing? Could we build it ourselves for less? Could we spend that money elsewhere and get more? 4. Cut your subscriptions A lot of people who run relatively small companies talk about having 10, , or 20 subscriptions to pieces of software. It adds up. Does it feel reasonable and reasonable compared to the alternative? You may like Trello or Dropbox or Asana or Slack, but do you like them enough to pay for all of them? You might want to check your assumptions. 5. Watch out for variable costs Let's say you're paying for five different products, and they're all per seat. When the company grows, and you hire another 20 people or 100 people, everything gets way more expensive. Not just salaries, but also all your tools. It's the same product you had before. Why are you paying so much more for it? When costs are variable, they can rise slowly until it's this big huge snowball. Cutting expenses isn't just for inflationary times. It's just good business practice. If you've discovered other troves of wasted expenses, let us know about it on or email me . Thoughts we've shared <LOCATION> with and host puts 37signals CEO and in the hot seat in this recent episode. Here are a few of the questions… What book has been the most influential as you've built your business? What's the best single piece of business advice you've ever received? What's the one thing you wish someone had told you when you were first starting your business? What habits do you have that help you be more productive? Hooks, towel bars and software Strangely, a recent bathroom renovation crystalized my perspective on product development. When being asked to choose between towel hooks or a towel bar, the choice was obvious: Hooks, of course. Hooks take up no space. Towel bars suck up space. But what do towel hooks have to do with product development? For me, just about everything . - Jason Fried Two heads Product roles are frequently solo roles. There's a lot of collaboration between designers and engineers, but it's uncommon for two product people to work alongside one another. That's why you hear a lot about being the "CEO of the product" or owning things. But we see product ideation as a partnership .

Basecamp: And now for something completely new We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- We all love a great story, and it's even more exciting when you get to see it unfold before you, in real time. If you read nothing else , this is one you won't want to miss… Once upon a time you owned what you paid for, you controlled what you depended on, and your privacy and security were your own business. We think it's that time again … And if that inspires you, as it does us, maybe now's the time for you to start something new. Inspiration doesn't last forever. If you want to do something, you've got to do it now. You can't put it on a shelf and wait to get around to it. You can't just say you'll do it later. Later, you won't be pumped up about it anymore. If you're inspired on a , use to dive into the project. When you're high on inspiration, you can get of work done in . Inspiration is a time machine in that way, but it won't wait for you. It's a now thing. If it grabs you, grab it right back and put it to work.* Have a great idea? Drop me a line , or share it in the Basecamp Community ! * Adapted from "Inspiration is Perishable" in REWORK Thoughts we've shared Dropping TypeScript The next release of Turbo 8 is dropping TypeScript. Some may disagree about this decision, and very few programmers are typically interested in having their opinion changed . But check out blog post and recent REWORK podcast episode on why this makes sense. Minding the Small Stuff (from , on the Dev blog ) Nitpicking in pull request reviews means offering insight that looks excessive, pedantic, and unimportant. It's a pejorative term. But with negative connotations, this practice suddenly becomes undesirable: mind the big picture or leave the pull request alone. With that, we disagree. When writing code, small stuff matters, a lot . Things we're excited about Interns Report Out Our programming and ops interns just finished their , program with us. There's no coffee-fetching here. Our interns were treated as much like any other member of the team, doing meaningful cycle work that they could start shipping by . How did they do it? And how did we do it? It's all right here .

Basecamp: New Year, new Calendar We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- One of the things I love most about a new year is the chance to start fresh. Clear the old stuff out of the inbox. Turn a literal and figurative new page on the calendar. At 37signals, we have a brand new "What Works" project for , where we keep our Cycle calendar, Kickoffs, Heartbeats and Automatic Check-ins . And, we've just started to roll out the new HEY Calendar to beta testers. It's been the top request since we launched . , we released the most comprehensive preview yet, in this video walk-through with . In addition to having all the event scheduling functions you'd expect, HEY takes inspiration from the world of paper calendars; name and fill them in with a special image, circle important events, and "pencil-in" things you might do with the Maybe calendar. You'll also find digital features, like a habit tracker and time tracking. And, unique to HEY, you'll see a list of "sometime this week" things you'd like to get done, but don't have scheduled. And yes, you can share calendars with other HEY users. Stay tuned for more updates and the official launch date. Finally, feels like an especially good time to ask: Are there are other things you'd like to see in this newsletter? Questions you have for us? Just drop me a line: . Thoughts we've shared Cars and business Through the car experience lens, I've come to see businesses as either analog or digital . I'm not describing their product or what they make. I'm talking about how they're structured, how they run. An analog business is direct. It's clear what does what, and how it does it. When something changes, you typically know what changed. A digital business is indirect and abstracted. - Jason Fried The Big Cloud Exit FAQ The cloud exit is done, but the questions keep coming. Oh do they keep coming. So rather than answer the same points over and over (and OVER!), I thought I'd compile a good old-fashioned list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - to Competence It's that time of year when people start thinking about new year's resolutions. The trouble with a lot of these aspirations is that they require the formation of new habits and carving out new chunks of time in an already busy day. That's not impossible, of course, but it's hard. But for most people, a significant portion of is already allocated to work. That's a solid for the majority of people with a regular job. <DATE_TIME>. <DATE_TIME>. Imagine if you dedicated just 10% of that to getting better at what you do. - Things we're excited about vs. Workarounds We all get trained to take extra, time-consuming steps to make up for things that software should do, but doesn't. No more! Check out these workflows that replace the Gmail or Outlook workarounds you've been using. And watch these new videos for even more tips on how to make the most of HEY.

Basecamp: A little thanks We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- Before we take off for , it's a good time to express our appreciation to everyone who is part of the 37signals community. We're really passionate about sharing our experiences - what we do, how we do it, and all the valuable lessons we've picked up along the way. By doing this, we hope this can help the small businesses, the underdogs, in every field to thrive and succeed. We're also thankful for customers who have found a better way to work with Basecamp and felt so great about it that they wanted to tell all their friends. This includes companies like , that switched from ClickUp to Basecamp in ; and autobia , that dropped Slack for Basecamp; and Project 33 that traded in and Slack for us.

Thoughts we've shared Live with it for a while In the course of building products, you'll likely experience moments when you're unsure of a certain screen, flow, condition, label, idea, whatever. I like these moments. It's practice. It's a chance to sit with them, to let them be, to work on other things while they marinate in the back of your mind. They aren't blockers, they aren't deal breakers - they're just things that may or may not work out. - levels of finishing We're in the final phase of getting the first ONCE product out the door. As with any new development, there are a million little details we need to nail, and that's usually where the temptation to cut corners beckons, but we've handcuffed ourselves to the virtue of beautiful code by committing to shipping the code with purchase. We're shipping the code because I want to show everyone that an extremely high level of care for the internals is not in opposition to the demands of commercial deadlines . In fact, I'd go so far as to say such case is in service of said deadlines. - Things we're excited about The last cycle was a great one for new Basecamp features that you can see live in action with the links below. Move the Needle and Mission Control give you insight into your projects' current status, without having to piece together the details! Need to see what members of your team have been working on? Want to check in on just a handful of projects? Now you can filter activity by projects or by people to see what's most important. Cycling though images in just got easier. If you want to view photos from a recent event or flip through potential logo designs, you can now easily click through from one image to the next on a single screen. Happy Holidays, and see you in ! - , COO at 37signals

Basecamp: What did you do in ? We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- Last week marked Cycle 4 at 37signals. We typically organize our work in timelines that are long enough to build something meaningful, but also short enough that everyone feels the deadline from the start. Using the Shape Up process, and small, two-person programmer-designer teams , we shipped dozens of new features, product improvements and bug fixes for Basecamp and HEY in the last cycle. Here are a couple of new things we're particularly excited about : Public Links to Folders Do you have a set of forms, presentations, or other files, that you want to make accessible to people, even though they're not in your Basecamp account? Now you can! Designer teamed up with (one of our summer interns) on this project to create a public link for any folder you choose within Docs & Files. This one has been on our customers' wishlist for a while, and we're happy to see it out there. Custom Images for Doors Many Basecamp customers integrate Basecamp with another service, like GitHub, Figma or Google Sheets, using a feature we call "Doors." We have built-in support for 30 of the most popular services. But if you want to include access to multiple Google Sheets, for example, it can get confusing. Now, you can add your own image, animated gif, avatar, etc. as the icon for any Door, so each one can have its own visual identity. Also, if you're curious about how we thought through this problem and designed an elegant solution, , the designer for this project, will be talking about it during the next Basecamp Office Hours. Save your spot for this webinar on . Thoughts we've shared The curing value of creation It's hard not to see your spirits lifted when you're part of bringing something to life. Like exercise, it's one of those rare avenues of human endeavor that almost invariably will make anyone feel better. And, also like exercise, the hard part is getting started when you need it the most! On learning how to make money Lemonade stands, car washes, lawn mowing, baseball card trading… Making money takes practice, just like playing the piano takes practice. No one expects anyone to be any good at the piano unless they've put in lots practice. Same with making money. The more you practice the better you get. Read 's full post here .

Basecamp: The power of writing We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- In a world dominated by tweets, sound bites, and quick updates, long-form writing is starting to feel like a thing of the past. But expanding your thoughts beyond five bullets on a slide, or 140 characters, gives you power and opportunity. With complete sentences, and paragraphs, and even chapters, you can explain complex ideas, develop nuanced arguments, and engage deeply with readers. And it isn't just about length-it's about depth. When you write long, you can examine a topic, presenting it from multiple angles. You can build an entire world or story. You create more and share more. We believe in the power of thoughtful writing. That's why we created HEY World , and now . Whether you're drafting an in-depth article, creating comprehensive guides, or documenting detailed processes, Writebook is your partner in producing high-quality content and publishing it online for free! Some things you might create: Comprehensive Guides and Tutorials: Use Writebook to create step-by-step instructions that help users fully understand and utilize your products or services. Research Papers and Case Studies: Academics and professionals can use to organize and present their research, and focus on that instead of navigating a complex online web publishing tool. Company Documentation: Internal documents, like the 37signals Employee Handbook , training materials, and project reports, are easy to find and share. Personal Projects: Whether it's drafting a novel, compiling a memoir, or collaborating on a family history, lets you and your co-authors publish together. How will you use it? If you're curious about some of the decisions behind the scenes, here's some of the thinking behind , why it's a place to publish, not just a place to write . Also, the original name was , but how did we get to ? (Or any of our product names?) Thoughts we've shared Decisions are hard Making decisions can be a huge burden-exhausting, isolating, anxiety-inducing. This dynamic plays out at even at home. After at work, my wife and I negotiate not so much what we're having for dinner, but who has to decide. I'll cook, but you have to pick… One of my favorite bits of advice about decision making comes from the late , who once wrote, "It's easier to do something 100% of the time, than 98% of the time." Making the decision ahead of time means you don't have to decide again every time you face that decision. - , Principal Designer at 37signals Listener Questions: HR Edition How do we approach people management and performance reviews?

By the way, if you want a little more REWORK in your life, stop by the new merch store . (The notepad is my personal favorite!) Things we're excited about It's been a big summer for HEY We've added new features, new account plans and an iPad app for HEY ! Here's some of the latest: Since HEY launched, we've heard from many of you who want to share all the goodness of HEY with the people in your family. We get it! We have partners, kids, and parents who would benefit from HEY, too. Introducing HEY for Families - add up to 4 additional HEY accounts for just $179/year total! One person pays and invites everyone, but the accounts remain separate and private. From multiple reminders to mobile updates, you need to see what's new in HEY email , calendar and the new iPad app. And, if you have multiple external email addresses, now you can add name tags to keep it clear. It's been a popular request! Until next time, - , COO at 37signals


Basecamp: Quick wins and cool-downs We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- Can you believe it? Here we are at of . At 37signals, we've just completed cycle of , and are into an extended cool-down period . This is a period with no scheduled work, where we can breathe, meet as needed, and consider what to do next. In , some of our team will put the finishing touches on projects from the last cycle. Some will knock off some quick wins. And quite a few are charging ahead with our upcoming releases of the first ONCE product and the new calendar for HEY . With left in , now is a good time to decide when to consider work "done." It's always tempting to increase the scope of a project, but making choices makes the product better. Being picky about scope differentiates the product. You can also check out this REWORK Podcast episode on how quick wins keep momentum going. Small victories can build morale, increase motivation, and give you something to celebrate . Thoughts we've shared In 's hustle-centric work environment, there's a prevailing pressure to showcase constant busyness, sometimes at the expense of genuine productivity. In the latest episode of the REWORK Podcast, we dismantle the myth of the "outwork" mentality and delve into the nuances of work ethic, productivity, and career advancement within the constantly changing dynamics of the workplace. And on the lighter side, don't miss this throwback clip on employee benefits - like the working masseuse, free food paste for lunch, and the shuttle service home! What great benefits! No, really. It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work . Things we're excited about Once a product category proves popular, it's common for more companies to enter the market. Generics are launched that are devoid of fancy packaging, marketing, and advertising. This happens in most industries. Maybe not in airplanes, but absolutely in peanut butter. And you know what's closer to peanut butter than airplanes? Software. Speaking of, we're away from the first ONCE product… There's now an official Rails job board with openings from companies like Shopify, Intercom, , , and others. If you're looking for a Rails job, you can subscribe to be notified of new postings. If you're looking to hire, there's a special - just $99 per job post (normally $299). Happy hiring!

Basecamp: Stacks, and how we did it We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hey there- What does your desktop look like? Neat folders? Files everywhere? We don't make changes to the home screen very often. It's a delicate balance between adding utility and just making things more complicated. But we'd seen from customers, and our own use, that it might be time to allow for a bit more organization. Enter: Stacks on the home screen (for desktop and mobile apps). Stacks let you group projects together, the same way you would stacks of papers or folders on your desk. You can try it yourself, right now. Or, check out this video . Some of you will be just as interested in how we made this feature, so here's a brief tour through the process, from the Shaping document that describes what problem we're trying to solve (check out Shape Up , if that's new to you), to the design review with , (product manager) and (designer). Thoughts we've shared How "Campfire" becomes "Chat" As we continue our focus on simplicity, ease, and clarity, we decided to rename the "Campfire "tool to "Chat." That brings it in line with the other tools with self-explanatory names. This sounds like a minor change, and it is, but at our scale, every clarification has a big impact down the line. Here's how we kept this from becoming hard . Hopefully our approach is helpful to your next easy thing, too. You don't create a culture Company culture is more than just a buzzword or a section in your employee handbook. It's not something you can just write down and expect to manifest. It creates itself organically, through the attitudes and actions of your team that define how you work and more importantly how you work together. This REWORK Podcast episode covers the pivotal distinction between "wanting" the right culture and actively "doing the work" to foster a positive culture that truly reflects your values. Things we're excited about Rails World celebrated of Ruby on Rails, and introduced so many new tools. Here's a few of them: enables you to create fully native controls in your hybrid mobile apps, driven by the web.

We get a much larger cache at a fraction of the storage costs of memory caches like Redis or Memcached. While memory access is many times faster than disk, it only accounts for a fraction of cache operation time - there's also network time, serialization and compression. is a simple yet battle-tested deployment tool extracted from our cloud exit, which features zero-downtime deploys, rolling restarts, asset bridging, and just about everything else most people will need to deploy and update their web applications.

Basecamp: Time travel, leaving the cloud, and something useful we built We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Features we've added Time Travel & Markers in The Lineup Sometimes you're looking to zoom out and see the bigger picture. The Lineup is 's way of giving you a bird's eye view of projects in play. With some recent additions, now you can look into the future at a time with the Time Travel button, or note important dates and milestones by dropping a Marker. Date Picker This one was a popular customer request. The new date picker makes it easier to select , and that's far in the future, without all the clicking. Most importantly, this feature is a big upgrade for anyone using assistive tech. When we shared this new feature with longtime user , who uses a screen reader, he said: "I shared this e-mail at the team meeting (which has several other screen reader users) and a lot of people were happy to hear about the support experience and continued accessibility work. We evaluated a number of project management apps and Basecamp absolutely flattened the competition, especially in accessibility, so that's why we're using it." Thoughts we've shared Why We're Leaving The Cloud: In , announced that we were leaving the cloud . And after of effort, our departure is now complete . The promised savings of the cloud never materialized for our small business. If you look at the math, it's astonishing… leaving the cloud will save $7 million over ! How We Built Something Useful: explores why some of work's most rewarding moments come from making something simply useful , and why you should never wait for innovation to strike . Things we're excited about Organizing a Company Meetup in Basecamp: In , more than 70 of our employees traveled from around the world to for a company meetup. Coordinating hotels, meals, presentations, guest speakers, activities, and more is a daunting task. But was organized by just two employees, of course using Basecamp. Here's a quick video highlighting how they got it all done .


Basecamp: Consider the full problem We'd like to use cookies to help understand if our ads are working or not. No Yes, that's fine Hello there! , I made a decision that was meant to increase efficiency and improve my quality of life at work. Because I didn't fully consider the problem I was trying to solve, the decision ended up making things more complicated. Some background. 37signals is a remote company which means we have staff all over the world, including all over . The company establishes a business presence & files taxes in each state. We have 27 employees working from 15 states. So it's a considerable task to maintain 30+ payroll tax accounts, not to mention fielding the agonizingly tedious state correspondence that accompany them. I wanted help managing our state accounts. I thought I wanted help with organization. Our tax information was scattered across platforms - in , on spreadsheets, and in our payroll software. I was manually tracking deadlines and notices, and I completed those as they came due. I thought, if I could find a solution that managed all of that for me, I could reduce the headache. Enter tax compliance software and its lofty promises of managing this work better than I ever could. You'll never miss a filing deadline again! You'll only receive mail you need to see! New registrations are as simple as clicking a button! So I signed up, ready to unload my burden onto a service whose sole job is to organize all the moving parts of tax compliance for me. But while organization was an issue, it wasn't my full problem. I was also seeking peace of mind. Comfort and security in knowing that the process I use works 100% of the time. The compliance product we ended up using "works" in the sense that our information is all in one place. But I'm still regularly checking up, verifying that they're doing the work with the same diligence I'd put into it, 100% of the time. Adding software has decreased my peace of mind surrounding tax compliance. Had I fully considered my problem, I never would have added the service and instead shored up my existing tracking process in . The lesson I took? Fully consider the problem I'm trying to solve. Then seek the least complex solution that addresses both the surface and deeper aspects of it. My existing tool - Basecamp - used more thoughtfully was all I really needed to solve my problem.
