Hi Rachel & Tim,

Thanks for noticing my work!

Rachel — I like how you are pulling the URL from the “announcement”.

Although the things I’m working on creating have additional data stored in other databases, I think it is important when developing add-on interfaces to the API to creatively store and retreive as much meta-data as possible in Basecamp itself so that you can see it in that interface as well — like you are doing here with the URL.

Project Detail’s Support Tickets store the ticket number in [square brackets] in the Basecamp Message title, and the To Do Minder will have an option to append the reminder date/time to the end of the To Do item when you set a reminder.

Keep on coding!

Nice piece of code, I would bet that there'll be alot more snippets coming out once people have had more time to play around with the API. One thing that would be really interesting would be to get some interaction going between Google Calendar and Basecamp, but unless Google release an API for the calendar that's not going to be possible.
