Basecamp vs Linear
Basecamp started first, in 2004, 15 years before Linear.
Why Basecamp lasted
- It is the product of a company that treats not growing as a feature.
- The same people still write the software. That is rarer than any framework they shipped.
Why Linear lasted
- It made issue tracking feel like a product instead of a database with workflow.
- Taste as a moat: keyboard, speed, the way a status looks.
