I’ve been playing with Basecamp Mobile for about a week now, so I think it’s ready for people to play with:
It provides a basic interface to your Basecamp account, suitable for mobile phones. It uses the XHTML Mobile Profile (for more on this, see my post, What is the XHTML Mobile Profile?)
Of course, it provides limited access to your account. However, it’s built as a Rails application, and I’ll release the source code within a few weeks. This will allow you, or perhaps a colleague with the right skills, to install (and extend) it on your own server. Before releasing it, a few friends are helping me improve it to make it suitable for public release.
Why did I build this? I thought being able to use Basecamp with my phone would be handy when I’m away from the office. I also wanted some experience working with the Basecamp API. And I really love using Backpack and Tiktrac with my phone!
While it’s being tested, you can report bugs and suggestions with our bugtagger.
Enjoy!
