11 months ago, Max Guedy wrote to us detailing how Getting Real helped him create a new app. Recently, he wrote us again with details on how Basecamp helped him launch that app, myows.com. The tool is dedicated to providing a full suite of copyright solutions for designers, photographers, musicians, and anyone else who creates copyrightable work.
Just like 37signals, we're a small team (4 people), but we all have our own agencies or practice to run. To make matters even better, one of our team member lives in Singapore (the developer), whereas the 3 others are in Cape Town, South Africa.Communication is of prime importance for a project the size of ours, and after a couple of emails went missing in action, I insisted that all communications be made through my agency's Basecamp account.
I put up a catchy name for the project ("the road to success") and my partners got to grip very easily with the Basecamp interface.
Documents are uploaded for approval, bugs are tracked through to-do lists and general messages go on a Writeboard.
Somehow it worked, and I'm proud to announce that myows.com went live yesterday with a minimal amount of bugs that we'll address during the BETA phase.
Do you use a 37signals product in an interesting or noteworthy way? Let us know.
