From Basecamp to Blimp in three clicks

UX annoyance that I've seen persist with many products' blogs. Clicking on the Blimp icon should take me to the product, not back to the blog. Clicking "About" takes me to the product, but the link text isn't very indicative of this.

I just created my first project on blimp and I really like it. It seems to be very easy to use and has almost every feature I need. You could add a messaging feature for the users that are involved in the project. Just one feed with the face the time and the message for discussing new ideas.<p>I will definitely recommend it. Good luck with it.

It's an aside, but can product blogs please include links to their actual product? It's minor annoyance but still frustrating.

I was glad to see that there is some mention of pricing on the page, but it's not until the bottom and it's extremely vague ("we have plans for companies of all sizes starting at $12/month").<p>The product looks pretty cool, but not having a detailed pricing/features page might be a showstopper for a company that is genuinely interested.

Got anything for those of us who use GitHub Issues for project planning? For us, the benefits of a single tool for everything outweigh the benefits of using anything else...

For some reason, I read the url as getLIMP…uh…interesting name.<p>Look forward to the pricing plans - it'll affect if I will try it or even switch over from Basecamp.

So why "use" basecamp to market your product? I'm hoping for a legit product story.

Got to love Blimp.

I'll check it out, but then again, I'm a bit of a floozy when it comes to productivity software.
