We’re really having fun digging into all the useful things we can do now that our customers have 37signals IDs. The Launchpad is one of those playgrounds.
Last night we added deep links to Basecamp accounts. Deep links let you jump into an account without having to first log into the account and then choose where you want to go.
For example, deep links for Highrise let you jump right to your deals, cases, tags, tasks, or contacts. Deep links for Backpack let you jump right to your calendar, pages, reminders, or journal. And now deep links for Basecamp let you jump right to one of your five most recently accessed projects.
Here’s a video to show you how it all works:

on 02 Feb 10Looks fantastic, some great innovations! The video looks great, too – I’ve been looking for a screen recorder with nice zooming and scrolling features like that. Can I ask what you are using? Or does anyone have a recommendation?

on 02 Feb 10I don’t see the value, it a short list, and I’m not garantueed to find there what I want. So just getting into the app and choosing from there is probably just as fast, also the link targets are pretty small, so going directly into the app, seems safer…

on 03 Feb 10That seems like a pretty sweet nice to have kind of feature. Very subtle that saves a screen load and a click.

on 03 Feb 10The looks are good, but now there’s a secondary way to select a project/section. It still needs the same amount of clicks to get there. You just make you choice earlier.
So in my opinion it’s getting a bit more confusing to understand for some people.

on 04 Feb 10Perfectly unuseful.

on 04 Feb 10If only game studios would start doing the same. You double click the game icon and go straight to your last save, instead of routing through the mindless branding bonanza for intel or nvidia and eventually land on a page where you’d still choose “Continue Last Game”.
