What we love

• Overview page

• Outstanding copywriting

• Lost of images

Overview page

Basecamp's release notes kick things off with a great overview page. Like you would expect from a blog, it contains a prominent image alongside a title and one paragraph summary of what's new in this release. Simple, but effective.

Exceptional copywriting

The words used in Basecamp's release notes are nothing short of brilliant. Their copywriting is clear, engaging, and communicates updates in a manner that's easy to understand and highlights the customer value.

Lots of images

Visual learners, rejoice! Basecamp's generous use of images in their release notes ensures that updates aren't just told; they're shown. This visual approach aids comprehension and adds a dynamic touch to the content.

What we don't love

• No categories

• Navigation of the page

No categories

While the content is informative, the absence of categories in Basecamp's release notes is noticeable. Categorization would streamline the user experience, making it easier to find and focus on specific types of updates.

Navigation of the page

Navigating through Basecamp's release notes could be smoother. While the content is valuable, a back link to the overview and and links back to the main homepage would make it easier to move between different sections and updates.
