37signals Philosophy
• Our products do less than the competition — intentionally.
• We believe software is too complex. We build web-based products that do less, work smarter, feel better, and are easier to use. We pay enormous attention to the details and overall customer experience of our products.
• Everyone loves simple tools that help get the job done and then get out of your way.
• That’s what our products do.
A. Frank-T. Sharon38
37signals uses “Ruby on Rails”
• Software toolkit for building database-backed Web sites.
• “Ruby on Rails” uses Ajax interfaces that resemble sophisticated desktop applications.
• Makes it easy for a small team of programmers to build advanced Web-based services fast.
