Thoughts on BaseCamp

I started working with some people recently who use BaseCamp. If you don’t know, BaseCamp is one of the pretty impressive things to come from the same people who created Rails. In fact, BaseCamp was one of the reasons for creating Rails to begin with.

Thus far, it’s pretty impressive. It’s responsive and feature-rich. It’s not terribly intuitive at first, but what project tracking/management application is intuitive? Name one. Can’t, can you? Regardless, the interface is pretty good. Similar in some regards to what you see in the WordPress dashboard, but a bit more thought-out.

I’m liking it, but it definitely takes a little getting used to.

Now, if only Google would come this close to good UI for Analytics (what a mess)!!
