A comment on Basecamp neglected integration partners by not providing an API for Basecamp v3.

TLDR:

- Basecamp releases v3

- Basecamp markets to their customers to upgrade to v3

- Some people upgraded & noticed their integrations with 3rd party applications no longer work (presumably thinking it's the 3rd party developers' fault)

- 3rd party developers aren't happy that they can't update their integrations since v3 lacks an API

- DHH says the API is in the works but hasn't been as high priority compared to other features on their list

- 3rd party developers get mad at DHH's response

I think it may be worth noting that Basecamp 3 has been out for 3 months already and Basecamp has not clearly noted the timeline for an API's release.

Additionally, this comment does not inspire confidence:

>We have some 12 developers who have to manage every single version of Basecamp and other legacy products, as well as all new development on Basecamp 3.
