37signals specializes in "punt to later" problem solving.
It's why I tear my hear out while using other company's basecamp installations and continually run into bizarre failure modes and lore-based work-arounds.
Accordingly, I think there's room for a 37signals that works. I'd sign up -- although I'd probably want to host it locally for our 3rd party partners to use -- so perhaps you should consider my opinion on web-hosted services slightly suspect.
- tptacek 17y agoCan you name a couple? I use pretty much the whole suite for our product work, and I haven't run into any of these yet.
- antonovka 17y agoHere's two, off the top of my head: - HTTP requests regularly fail. Page loads, resource loading, uploads -- all of them. Sometimes the page renders without any CSS, sometimes it doesn't load at all, and sometimes my uploads just timeout. - UTF-8 causes ... issues. For instance, I've run into truncation of comments at UTF-8 characters.
