Comment summary: Basecamp receives mixed reviews, praised for its ease of use, file-sharing capabilities, and suitability for small teams. However, several users criticize it for lacking modern features such as Gantt charts, advanced chat functions, or a contemporary interface, indicating it may be technologically outdated. While some users appreciate its simplicity, others seek alternatives like ASANA or tree.io for more comprehensive features.

Please correct the description. The minimum cost is $15/user per month, not $0

Basecamp to-do lists, due dates, and the ability to assign tasks to team members. This helps keep projects organized and on track.

It gets the job done. However, simple features like following a projects/teams calendar from your personal one is missing, and chat is extremely primitive.

Web interface looks outdated. We are not in 2000 anymore.

Björn Sackemark

I respect your opinion and I can see where you’re coming from. They’re very opinionated (needless to say). The “giant monolith” approach — that is, a central database with models, controllers etc. — makes all apps, native or web, share a lot of views, templates and user interface components.

They’re not into React or other JavaScript frameworks. Their web app is pure html & css “sprinkled” with js where appropriate.

Neverminding the technologies behind it all, the usability and easy of use should be what matters.

What are you missing? Why is it you’re feeling that the web app is outdated?

I love Basecamp and the UI especially. Other reasons and alternatives are reasons to why I personally use it less and less. But the user experience and the intuitiveness of BC3, I think is impeccable. Also—I actually think it’s beautiful. It’s so clear and the absence of noise make focus and real work a bit easier.
