Features
Basecamp offers to-do lists, wiki-style web-based text documents, milestone management, file sharing, time tracking, and a messaging system. It also offers integration with its own Campfire product.
Basecamp is software available in the English language.
Basecamp API
A Basecamp API, created by 37signals, allows developers to integrate Basecamp into their applications. It allows applications to access and modify Basecamp data, and is implemented as Vanilla XML over HTTP. It also accepts requests in the YAML format but responses are given in XML.
Criticism
Since Basecamp was created according to 37signals' Getting Real philosophy, it has been criticized for being too simple. 37signals' CEO, Jason Fried, has also been criticized by some for keeping the product simple and refusing to implement requests.[2] For example, Basecamp does not offer an integrated calendar which makes scheduling meetings and other time sensitive events difficult.
