Happy Birthday! – A birthday idea: a screenshots timeline to see how the UI has evolved

Congrats and best wishes. Keep up the awesome work.

I’m not really sure where my business would be without Basecamp!

Hard to believe we’ve been using it for almost 5 of those 6 years. Thanks for the great products, and for keeping it simple.

Parabens!!!

My warmest congratulations! Carry on!

Little Misto has grown up.

Congratulations!

Congratulations. You are now old enough to start using Agile development ;)

Fucking awesome. I can’t wait until I’m blogging about birthday number 6.

Now I just need to start on my specs and wireframes and do some user research and I’ll be superficially almost there.

@37signals

Interesting to see the same number of users & projects.

For a collaboration project, doesn’t appear much collaboration is happening.

OH “We’ve reached the point where software birthdays make you feel old, too.”

Congratulations. I can’t begin to relate how much Basecamp has helped my business grow and kept me sane.

Without gushing too much, I have to say that when I signed up for Basecamp and figured out how to use it for my purposes coincided with the moment my business blew up.

I was in a meeting at a multinational company today and the topic of sharepoint came up. Some people in the room weren’t familiar with it, so the person who brought it up said, “it’s kind of like basecamp.” I’m still trying to figure out if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Tony, Sharepoint is 100% times better than basecamp for projects documents and colaboration. And 100% more complex with 100 times more administrative overhead. Say goodbye to your Benjamins’ with SharePoint.

With only 14 comments so far, I wonder if this is an indication that 37signals have lost its love within the web community.

mrgray: how many times is 100% times better?

Congratulations 37signals. It’s been great seeing Basecamp and all of your other products get better and better over the years.

Happy Birthday. It’s been great for the past 4 years and I’m looking forward to more. I love the contant improvements – keep ‘em coming.

But seriously guys, take the night off and go have a drink. You deserve it.

Well done guys! Awesome!

Congratulations on the anniversary. I think it’s funny that each user has averaged less than 3 milestones.

Congratulations with 6 years! We’re using basecamp for vbirc.com / mrfloris.com / wetalknation.net project management and more! Couldn’t do it without it.

Thank you for helping us to organise ourselves, our clients and for the inspiration to invent our own applications.

Happy birthday guys, great job! On a side note (hehehe…. ) basecamp favicon is not showing in my bookmark folder, while other 37signals product showed.

Congratulations! Like others, I’m a huge fan and appreciate the added value I’ve been able to provide my clients’ businesses. I’ve enthusiastically passed the gift of Basecamp on to several others. Thank you for being a trusted resource.

Well done guys. Exceptional software.

Congrats guys !! You should be really proud of your amazing achievement ! Ben

I am still happy – and still using it….rare. I usually find something wrong and bail. There is something to be said for that!!! This has really changed the way we manage business. Thank you again.

I think facebook and basecamp are exactly the same age, facebook turned 6 on Feb 4, 2010 as well: https://mashable.com/2010/02/04/happy-6th-birthday-facebook/

Happy Birthday Basecamp…we love you :) Thanks to you, we can manage projects a whole lot better. Cheers and congratulations to the BasecampHQ team :)

Congrats from Argentina! Basecamp rocks! (a Spanish version would be great)

Guys, we seriously don’t know what we would be doing without you and Basecamp. It has made our work organized, our communication transparent and we think it is one of the biggest reasons we have such good relationships with our clients.

I’ve been using Basecamp since the first year it was on and I love it today more then ever.

happy birthday!

You are the best!

I’ve been using Basecamp for over two years and found it a great way to keep my virtual teams on task and focused. The simple / easy UI makes it easy for all to participate increasing the involvement and communications on a project which is directly proportional to its success.

Happy Birthday and keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday! Wish you good luck and improvement of your cool web-based projects!:)

Wow, I’ve been productive for that long now?!? Kudos to you 37signals. It’s the best paid service on the web.

Feliz cumpleaños, wish you an overseas user

Parabéns para toda equipe 37signals!!! Happy Brithday!! =D

Congratz guys! We have been using Basecamp since 2006 and it never failed to deliver the promise: Getting things done!

Thanks for creating such great products !

Congratulations! Jason, would you like to share with us what kind of numbers of customers/users you planned in the year one when launching the app? What was the reality?

Happy Birthday and thanks for helping our business to stay on top of all our important milestones and tasks!

Congratulations! We LOVE Basecamp!

Happy birthday and congrats 37signals!

Congratulations from Mexico!

Happy Birthday! What does 6 equal in software years?? As a Project Manager, when my team gripes they ‘don’t have that info’...I can always say, DID YOU LOOK IN BASECAMP ? ?! Keep up the good work, and maybe consider adding a ‘time’ feature to Milestones :)

Basecamp has been a great help to our business. Thanks for a great product and best wishes for continued success!

Happy Born Day, Basecamp—you cats are makin’ it happen. We love what you do! Here’s to many more!

that s amazing..Congrats.

Congrats guys!

You are an inspiration to all of us (startup owners) – it’s your Basecamp and Backpack that I created Nozbe

Today I wrote a blog post on my personal blog to tribute your birthday. The time flies, it’s amazing you’ve been inspiring and positively affecting startup scene more than 6 years now! Keep on keepin’ on!

Felicidades! ..on behalf of the Pura Vida team in Argentina

Would love an “Ask Mark” about your infrastructure. Happy birthday!

Hi,

Congratulations! It is exciting for me to learn that we are using Basecamp almost the same year it was born :)

You helped us win and retain clients and improve how we server to them. Great job so far and keep improving for us!

Regards,

Riaz

Happy Birthday!

Amazing job! Congratulations from Brazil :)

happy bday, basecamp! You guys are amazing!

Congrats and keep up the great work!

Like fine wine Basecamp gets better with age… Keep it up guys

Thanks for a great product guys. Basecamp has increased the efficiency of my business by an order of magnitude.

I even had my main development machine go down on 02/05. Thanks to Basecamp and Subversion I’m up able to get work done, know which tasks I need to address, etc… on a completely different system. I’m billing on 02/06. Woohoo!

JOhn

Felicidades con el 6o. Aniversario, Me uno a la propuesta de Gonzalo, conviertan a Basecamp en Multilingual (Me interesa Español) no lo puedo llevar con mis clientes por estar en Inglés. Saludos.

Congratulatios for 6th birthday, I join Gonzalo’s claim for bringing Basecamp to multilingual (I care for Spanish) I can’t give Basecamp to my customers for being only in Englihs. Regards.

Congrats! We had a great time with the BC. Hope Basecamp will get better every day!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Basecamp rocks!!! I recommend it to all my friends who own businesses.

Could we get some screenshots or maybe even working models of the past basecamps?

I’d love to see the progression.

Congrat Jason and team. Love Basecamp that i am using over the last 2 years. Honnestly, I wonder why Apple does not just buy Basecamp and set it in the iPad. This could be the best app for the business users than trying to mimic RIM . Anyway. I would like to know how many concurrent users do you have today (if not confidential) ? does 3,6 millions represent the cumulated nb of users since 2004 ? or the current active users for basecamp .

Happy B’day Basecamp! Simply, keep on keepin’ it simple ;-)
