TLDR:
- Basecamp releases v3
- Basecamp markets to their customers to upgrade to v3
- Some people upgraded & noticed their integrations with 3rd party applications no longer work (presumably thinking it's the 3rd party developers' fault)
- 3rd party developers aren't happy that they can't update their integrations since v3 lacks an API
- DHH says the API is in the works but hasn't been as high priority compared to other features on their list
- 3rd party developers get mad at DHH's response
- hitekker 11y agoI think it may be worth noting that Basecamp 3 has been out for 3 months already and Basecamp has not clearly noted the timeline for an API's release. Additionally, this comment does not inspire confidence: >We have some 12 developers who have to manage every single version of Basecamp and other legacy products, as well as all new development on Basecamp 3.
