Basecamp Mobile Away!
Posted on Sat 27 May, 2006
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. ...
Basecamp Mobile
Posted on Thu 11 May, 2006
We’d like to say thanks to 37signals for linking to us in The first business built around Basecamp. We’re currently working on an application that provides a mobile-friendly version of Basecamp. The application is of course written using Ruby on Rails, and will be released as open source so you can install it on your server (or your systems administrator can).
There’s still a lot of work to be done, but building it has been great fun, and we can’t wait to share it!
Tiktrac API status and forum
Posted on Sat 4 Mar, 2006
We’ve been working hard testing the API, making sure it’s secure and provides the features people have requested.
Take a look at what we’ve been doing!
Of course, functional testing is only one part of the testing we do. We’re also testing it with different programming languages to make sure it’s as easy to use as possible. We’ll feed this into our documentation soon, so expect to see PHP, Java and other examples to be included when we launch it.
Our forum is also running. It’s at forums.helicoid.net. You can use this to discuss our software, and get tips and support. Sign up now!
