What about the API? Is it still going to be supported in the new Basecamp or will it remain just for the classic Basecamp? I really hope there will be some kind of continuity where the data structure make it possible.
Beside this, it looks really clean and fast. I like it! :)

#22Is there a way to migrate existing Basecamp accounts over? I can't seem to find anything on how to do it.
Easiest is to go to your Classic instance, look at the Account tab, where there is a huge call-to-action explaining the upgrade path.

#23is it just me, or is the stylesheet 404'ing?

EDIT: Told the team about it in a ticket, JIC.

#24It's looking great - easy migration, super-fast. Congrats to all involved (no humans.txt?)
Re: The all-new Basecamp is live
#25Interesting that they've taken an new approach to SEO for their feature pages... a long list of vaguely project management named pages.
Re: The all-new Basecamp is live
#26Great, they basically removed all the features we use in Basecamp Classic :)
Yep. It would be nice to see a list of added/removed features vs. Classic. For example we use the time tracking functionality for our invoicing needs.
Also, does the API (http://developer.37signals.com/basecamp/) stay the same?

#27Looks like they have got rid of the free plan... (I'm not saying this as a negative thing, it's going to be really interesting to see the response to this, I know there was a blog post a while ago saying there hardly anyone on the free account upgraded) I'm using a free basecamp account but we only have one project and $20/$25 is just a little much for that a micro plan at $10 would be awesome :) )
I agree. $20/mo is definitely going to be too expensive for a ton of potential customers. I guess it's a luxury that 37Signals can not only afford, but will maximize their profit and I would assume they have some good historical data to back up the decision.
I do think that there is a magic $5-9/mo range that individuals will pay without thinking too much. Above that amount, they start equating a subscription with a trip to the movies or a (cheap) night out and you've lost them.

#28Where did timesheets go? Has anyone been able to find time tracking?
Re: The all-new Basecamp is live
#29I notice the new version is running on basecamp.com. The old version is at basecamphq.com and 37signals always made a point about the domain not mattering as much as the product name. I imagine there's a follow-up to that saying that if your product becomes successful there's nothing wrong with going and grabbing the pure domain (thinking Dropbox, Instagram and others. Or basically the opposite of Color.)
That was the first thing that caught my eye too. I would tend to agree with the assessment that a perfect domain name is negligible compared to having a successful product offering. You can take that too far, but for the most part a domain name doesn't matter all that much. It's a stupid investment for a struggling entrepreneur to spend thousands of dollars for a new domain. I think another significant reason they decided to go ahead and purchase the domain now, is that it was part of a larger effort to rebrand the product.
