A free, self-hosted, and open source alternative to Basecamp
Mon, Jul 28, 2008
In my search for a Basecamp alternative - because it’s not free, and I’d prefer something I can host on my own server - I have come across an excellent piece of software called ProjectPier. This is a branch from ActiveCollab — an open source project that later became a commercial product. ProjectPier is simple, speedy, and it works!
What I like about ProjectPier:
- Free/open source
- Self-hosted
- Comes with a bunch of nice themes out of the box
- It’s fast (well, depending on your server)
- Easy to install
- Easy to use
- Easy to navigate
- … see reasons on the official site
