Gantt Chart in PlannerX - v1
Yes! This is one of the sleekest Gantt chart implementations for Basecamp. It’s a view only Gantt chart, but it’s been a feature people have been asking for years!
There are still rough edges in terms of the UI, but your plan shows up well on the Gantt chart. Completed items show in green. We distribute to-do lists equally in a milestone, one milestone’s due date becomes next milestone’s start date, and to-dos occupy the full duration of to-do lists.
You can’t edit the plan, plan edited in Outline view won’t reflect in Gantt view until you save it (since we need IDs to establish parent-child relationships, and need to expand dates on milestones). Printing does not work across browsers – but you can right click and save the plan as an image to print it later.
It’s been a full night without any sleep! So I will retire to bed now! But will look forward to your feedback.
Many thanks to AnyCharts team – they make an awesome Gantt chart component. They even gave us a special price, and worked hard with me to get their component to work with Flex! Thank you Timothy and Anton!
Go ahead, take our live demo! Try it out yourself!

The Gantt chart feature is the reason I subscribed to PlannerX. However, at the moment, though the user interface is extremely intuitive, the Gantt chart doesn’t allow me to assign dates I would like to. This is a major drawback for me- and a app killer as well. Could you please take care of this as well.
@Jenny: Unfortunately, Gantt chart is “view only” for now. You can change the plan in the Outline view, and review the Gantt chart by going to Gantt view. We wanted to keep things simple, yet provide the Gantt chart feature, and that’s why we did it like this. We are thinking of making Gantt charts editable in the future, but that may take some time. We plan to add fields like start date and estimated time and allow for completing a task from PlannerX in near future.
