Basecamp Desktop for Linux
Unofficial Basecamp GNU/Linux desktop client built with Electron.
Features
- Native notifications

- Basic UI settings
- Tray icon
- Unread count badge

The application menu is hidden by default, to show it press the alt

Privacy
No information is collected or tracked by the application, Electron however will save some data as with any webview. It is possible to purge that information with an in-app function: menu -> file -> 'Clear data' will erase all stored information and cache (any open session will be lost).
Prerequisites
As any GNU/Linux Electron application libappindicator1
is required for tray icon and libnotify
for notifications but most likely they are already installed.
Installation

Manual build
