Last night we launched a big new feature in Basecamp. The more you use it the more we think you're going to like it.
Here's the background: We've been gathering a lot of feedback regarding milestones. One thing we kept hearing was how much of a pain it was to complete or change a milestone from the Dashboard. You had to click the milestone in the 14-day calendar, go into a project, click the checkbox, return to the Dashboard, click another milestone, and so on. It's a lot of clicks and page loads just to get some simple things done.
But now, with the introduction of this new feature, you can edit milestones, change dates, and check 'em off all without leaving the Dashboard. You no longer have to click deep into a project to take care of those common tasks!
Check out the video below to see how it works:
We plan on bringing this "quick window" style and function to other parts of Basecamp in the future. This is the first step in "flattening" Basecamp so you can do more things in more places without having to click deep into a project to get something done.
We're pretty excited about the potential and we hope you like the new feature. It may take a few days to get used to since it's a new paradigm, but once you use it a few times we think you'll love it. It's one of those things that'll make you wonder how you used Basecamp before without it.
Thanks again for your continued support!
