I am a creative designer/front-end developer working in this industry from past 6 years. From past one year I have started thinking of starting something by my own, as much as I can afford individually. I don’t have enough money to risk my fulltime job. I believe a great start is always worthy no matter it got to be a big one or small. Your article has added some more energy and ideas to my thoughts, thanks :-) Very good article, I would rather call it a real vitamin :-) I admire you for the courage you shown in your past which derived you to stand on this position today.

Are you saying that if you build a new type of car, and it looks just like a Toyota Camry, but you call it a Wizbang GoFast, that consumers aren't going to immediately think it's just a shitty knockoff? You're seriously underestimating the customer if that's your take. That’s a pretty ignorant thing to put forth.

Are we software developers here or graphics desginers?? I don't understand the overreaction to the similarities in the design of the website to Basecamp. I'm not trying to belittle graphic designers (I am a programmer-artist hybrid myself), but what is important here is the software, not the graphics. Intellectual property paranoia is way over the top sometimes. Wow wow wow. Are we software developers here or graphics desginers??

Many people (includes me) had been trapped in "technology matters" while there are so many things beyond just-technology when starting up. Excellent post!

That's all we we're saying...ditch the over-the-top resemblance to the basecamp site and you're golden! Well something sunk in, since the highlighting on your site is no longer light yellow.

FIrst at a TiE breakfast and then your DeskAway demo at BarcampMumbai3. In fact I covered Barcamp Mumbai for pluggd.in. Sahil - The comparison to 37Signals' Basecamp (BC) is inevitable as it is with all other PM web apps. It just goes to show you the extent to which 37Signals and their apps have taken the web by storm. BUT... While the comparisons that people make are inevitable. The justification is not. Ive seen alot of PM tools that start out to look like BC but once you delve deeper, differ completely from BC. Reach1to1's On2Biz (http://on2.biz/) for one. Distinguishing yourself from your competitors, either visually or by features, is vital if you want to succeed, otherwise you're doomed to follow them. We’ve run into each other quite a few times.
