Seems like 37S really are a one-hit wonder. Love the guys and the team, but seems they can't get anything launched that stays launched, and since they waited far too long to redo Basecamp, I'm positive they lost some business in the past 3-5. I'm curious to see what's next.

Didn't Chalk get a longer run than this one?

They also have Highrise, a CRM, and Campfire, a team chat.

I understand that Highrise has been their fastest growing product for some time.

Can't really call them a one hit wonder, the new Basecamp has taken off and IMO is better than the original Basecamp.

It's still the same product, just a redesign. Basecamp is great, and it set the standard for many in the industry, but I was much more excited about their future when they had a diverse product offering.

According to them it's not the same product (remember listening to a Mixergy interview where it was stressed that they were different - different code, solving the PM problem in a different way).

Edit: just found the product page for Basecamp Classic (http://basecamp.com/classic), man it looks pretty ugly!

haha yes, it is ugly. One of the reasons my team left it behind a few years back. Tried a bunch of pm systems and strangely enough, the two we loved most were free (Asana and Trello).
