Loads of new stuff in Basecamp 3!

We built an entirely new system to help people get brand new Basecamps set up properly. Now when you create a Basecamp you’ll see an option at the top that asks you if you’d like a hand setting it up:

Basecamp’s Work Can Wait feature gives each person control of their own work hours. You set up your notifications schedule and Basecamp won’t send you an emails, pings, or push notifications when you’re off work. It’s a brilliant way to take back your nights and weekends. And now we’ve made it better — when you return to work, we’ll send you a gentle summary via email, or a push to your phone, giving you quick access to anything relevant that happened while you were away.

A paper printout of a discussion, decision, schedule, or list is still very handy in all sorts of situations, so we’ve drastically improved the quality of the printouts that come from Basecamp 3.

By popular customer demand, we’ve made it possible for your clients to see all the discussions on the Clientside without having to have a username and password. This means they see exactly what you see, and they don’t have to use their email inbox as their only point of reference. You can read more about these updates in this separate post as well .

Basecamp 3’s Android app is fantastic, and the team is constantly pushing updates and improving the user experience. Here’s a list of some of the latest updates including more personal control over notifications, replies without launching the app, making it easier to move around without having to backtrack, and lots more .

The Ios team is also hard at work making Basecamp 3 on the iPhone and Ipad better than ever. In addition to all the major improvements above, we’re shipping smaller updates, fixes, tweaks, and performance improvements often — sometimes daily. A lot of these improvements start out life as customer requests.
