37 Signals, the amazing web design company behind such products as Basecamp, Highrise and Campfire, have introduced a new feature to one of their applications, namely Backpack [read article]. This feature allows a person to drag and drop items from various pages onto other pages. If this doesn’t make any sense, watch the video!
This company makes me sad, sad because I am in awe of their skills. While I fancy myself as a web designer and programmer, I really am just an amateur. This is ever so evident when looking at the offerings from 37 Signals. I would like to think that with enough free time I too could have these skills, but that is akin to thinking that, with enough time I could play in the NBA!
Where do they learn this stuff? They had to start somewhere. They must have built upon the same primitive skills we have now… right?
