Basecamp's notifications

Basecamp's notification system is really good! See The mystery in your inbox (Slack's notification V.S. Basecamp) for a breakdown by their team. This is a little summary myself:

Compare to Slack's notifications:

Basecamp, by default does notify you about everything, I think this is to help their product be "sticky" and make sure it doesn't quickly become irrelivent when people are trying to adopt it. However this can easily be customized

• Basecamp's work can wait feature
• Basecamp's focus mode
• Basecamp's unfollowing a project

Some are put in the user's hands such as:

• Customizing who get's notified
