New Highrise feature: Dates to remember
By very popular demand we bring you a new feature in Highrise: “dates to remember.” The dates to remember feature lets you keep track of important dates for each contact. You can add their birthday, anniversary, date hired, date fired, date granted a promotion, or whatever other date you want.
Springloops = a subversion host that integrates with Basecamp projects and todos
Cliff Spence writes, “I’ve been using an incredible compliment to Basecamp called Springloops.com for the past few days. If you aren’t aware of it already, it’s a Subversion host with some seriously tight integration with Basecamp’s projects and todos.”

close, very close. “Dates to remeber” did almost make my highrise based app useless (it’s a invoic todo:er based on HR companies/people). But you have only “every year”, not “every month” or “every third month”.
(hint: make it so I can stop programming it and drink beer instead)

Great work on the new Highrise feature! HR is already my homepage, and I really appreciate your keeping the product fresh with these updates.
I was just about to offer a suggestion to add a Note field to a date, but then I realized you already thought through this! So, for the folks coming after me:
If you have a family contact (say Dave & Kim Smith), you can set up two separate birthdays by selecting “Other” from the Occasion list and typing “Dave’s Birthday” or “Kim’s Birthday”. Very simple, and remarkably effective.

Thanks for the heads up on the springloop app, I’ve been wondering how/if people integrated subversion and basecamp. We use subversion and trac and that’s an awesome combo but basecamp has always been out of the loop.
As an aside we use basecamp as our agile planning tool, using one message as a use case/story and then attaching to-dos and various comments/questions to it.

Dates to remember doesn’t solve the problem of import and export of vcards with birthdays, anniversaries, etc. in them.
