37signals , the makers of Basecamp , pride themselves on building software that does less than their competitors. They take great care to deliver only the features they believe their customers need.

That’s nice.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I’m tired of waiting for them to fix the “little things” in Basecamp. Time tracking was added to Basecamp last September. It’s been over a year and they still haven’t added it as an option to be the start page of a project. (They’re missing Writeboards, Chat, and Files, too.) For all you Firefox users out their, here’s a Greasemonkey script that will fix this incomplete feature. It’ll let you set any project tab to be the default start page when you first view a project.
