ProjectThingy: Innovation in Collaboration

We’ve written quite a lot about project management and collaboration tools in the past but recently we came across a tool that takes the collaboration process to the next level. ProjectThingy is project management software that can be seamlessly integrated into your site giving your team and clients a familiar project environment and full collaboration capabilities.

While we love Basecamp and use it daily here at ReadWriteWeb, the idea of embedding this type of software into a page using only a few lines of code is appealing. Easy to use, you just point to the domain you want it to live on, create a username, password and voila – ProjectThingy spits out the code for you to cut and paste to your site.

Feature overview:

  • Name and mission statement
  • Status: none, in progress, problem, complete
  • Due date

  • Project members from your user pool
