One of the most rewarding aspects of doing a public application is the appreciation that'll trickle in from passionate users. They can make that bug you're working on seem so much less of a problem, ignite your motivation for getting that next feature done today rather than tomorrow, and they're an integral part of keeping your eye on the ball.

So we love all the buzz and appreciation we're getting for our projects. But every once in a while, something special will trickle in. Either something particularly insightful, kind, or from someone who's opinion you'd really like. Today we got one of the latter for Basecamp. Jim Dunnigan, former product manager for Microsoft Project wrote us:

I worked in the project management software industry for nearly fifteen years and Basecamp is the first product I have seen that is truly project management for everyone. It is nice to see someone finally figured it out.

That made my day.
