🔗 Basecamp Resubmits Its Calendar App, Includes Dates in Apple History to Get Past App Review – 512 Pixels // Stephen Hackett

It’s a real bummer to feel like I’ve been ripped off by a much bigger company, seeing them pitch something I’ve worked hard on as a free feature in their app. There’s some irony there.

Yeah, Basecamp certainly could have done this without making it look like you’re getting such a deal compared to Stephen’s physical calendar. Unfortunate framing, I’d say. (His 2024 retail calendar is great once again, btw.)

@jarrod The incomparable @nickheer lays it out clearly:

> The primary story remains Apple’s unpredictable policing of the App Store, capriciously rejecting apps from even well-known developers. But the secondary narrative here is of bullies: Apple, yes, but also Hansson. It should have been easy for both Apple and Hansson to make this situation look good in the face of yet another dumb App Review move, but neither chose that route.
