12th February 2013 will mark Apps Magnet’s 4th Anniversary. Four years of awesome solutions for activeCollab (and Basecamp, and PayPal…). Four years of cherished relationships with customers. Four years of writing, tweaking, debugging and optimizing code. Four years of challenges and triumphs.

First, our present for you!

Yes, it’s our anniversary, but you get the gift.. On our anniversaries so far, we have given our customers 10X discounts. It was 10% on first, 20% on second, 30% on third. I don’t know if we will do 100% discount on our 10th anniversary; but for the 4th, we certainly have 40% discounts for you!!

From now, till 18th Feb 2013, you get a flat 40% off on our products. We’ve already discounted the prices, so you don’t have to worry about coupon codes!

The Past…

Apps Magnet was the first professional grade, commercial extension developer for activeCollab. We’d been using activeCollab for a while and developed a reporting solution for our own needs. That was later released as Reports module for activeCollab on Feb 12, 2009. A month later, we launched PlannerX for Basecamp – based off a planning system we used in activeCollab ourselves. PlannerX was soon ported to activeCollab, and we kept moving forward from there on.

On our second anniversary, we released a series of videos. The first – “2 years of Apps Magnet: from zero to six figures” instantly became a hit – not just in activeCollab community, but also in other startup / tech circles.

The 4 Essential Skills for Entrepreneurship video too was termed “inspiring” by many viewers.

Do watch these videos if you haven’t already!

The Present & The Future…

We shared our 2013 Roadmap with you last month. And we are very much working on it. We released 5 product updates last week and are working on a lot more!

Time Reports Plus will soon merge with Reports Plus. Financial reporting will be added to Reports Plus too. Resource management work for Planning module is underway and we are getting closer to the kind of workflow we want from it.

The team is growing, support response time is coming down, and we are looking forward to a bright 2013!!

What are these new products?

Housekeeping Module – $19

Automate routine system maintenance and cleanup activities with Housekeeping module. Our housekeeping module was exclusive to acGarage subscribers, now it’s open to all! It can save you many hours of work and give you peace of mind. All for just $19!

acHack – Incremental Backup – $21

activeCollab’s Backup module takes full backup every day. Incremental Backup copies only those files that have changed to the backup. This significantly improves backup performance and drastically reduces disk space usage. This provides you the most optimal and secure data backup for activeCollab.

acHack – Copy Pages and Discussions with projects – $17

The process of creating new projects from templates in activeCollab does not copy over pages and discussions. Pages and Discussions are very important part of a project – we use pages to gather initial design brief / project requirements. We even want that our discussions are structured similarly across projects.  Not being able to import discussions and pages was a limitation.

This hack solves that problem. Creating a new project using a template project will now also copy pages and discussions from your template project to the newly created projects.

What’s the special deal?

These three products total up to $57. But we are giving a big 20% off if you buy them together. The offer is valid only till midnight November 30th, MST.
