For now someone taking the API and producing an iPhone web app would be great.
Roan: any chance you FAC folks could put out some info (to Twitter etc.) as to the potential size of customer base for this, if large enough it could be tempting to some ninja iPhone web dev out there.

I'd buy this in an instant!

I was having this problem too, but I just tried entering my Basecamp URL without the 'https://' at the start and now it is working.
Am really thrilled with this app - it will be really convenient for me as I am a huge Basecamp fan.
The app itself looks terrific, very fluid and easy to use.

Well done Morfunk.

Mike -
Using FF3 on Mac (Leopard OS).
I use the, truly magnificent, '1Password' to access all my secure sites, I never need to type in a username/password after setting it up for the first time.
I also use a SSB created by the Fluid app - FF ability to remember password seems to not work with this set-up, luckily 1Password does.

Cheers.

Thanks for the prompt response.
30mins is better - hadn't thought about that 'remember me' link, looks like that would do the job.

Is it possible to change this at all? 10mins is quite a short timespan.

Server logs me off if I leave it idle

Is there a automatic log-off from FreeAgent server if it is idle for a set time?

David McDonald replied on October 21, 2008 14:23 to the praise "BrightKite iPod Touch App is awesome" in Brightkite:

I'd like to second that - I loaded Brightkite on my iPhone this morning (over wi-fi at the airport, I couldn't wait to try it out). Superb app, well done Brightkite. Some glitches to work out yet I'm sure but I know this is going to become an essential addition on my iPhone.

When will estimates be available?

I'm a freelance designer and have only recently discovered FreeAgent. Looks impressive and appears to be the closest yet for me working in UK. There are some curious omissions though: Estimates and Purchases. In my workflow I need to send estimates to win the work in the first place - and I often need to send Purchase Orders to my suppliers too. Estimates also need to be easily turned into invoices.
I'm currently using MYOB, but really want to get away from it, although it already does both these features.
Might go FreeAgent anyway but it will be horrible to have to create Estimates manually and outside of the environment.

OK, sounds like an improvement. Thanks for your prompt response

David McDonald reported a problem in Brightkite on May 08, 2008 08:58:

Why so much repitition in UK location names?

I think the actual location text looks confusing (and uses a lot of space, not good on a mobile like my iPhone). My home location looks like this:

Lisburn, Lisburn, UK
Lisburn, Northern Ireland, GB

Lisburn UK would be sufficient no?
