PostHog
Share on Twitter
PostHog is a "suite of product and data analytics tools".
It enables anyone building for the web to track product analytics, roll out features based on feature flags, test ideas with A/B testing and it also acts as an event pipeline.
I enjoy using PostHog for a few reasons:
- PostHog has an autocapture JavaScript snippet that makes it easy to implement and start getting rich data
- The PostHog Launchbar Heatmap helps me learn more about the user from a holistic view.
- They have a rich set of documentation,
- The platform is open-source (so it can be self-hosted) and has a cloud offering (for people like me who are building products ourselves and shouldn't be fiddling with self-hosting infrastructure)
- Their team is quick to engage with requests in their Slack channel
I've started using PostHog for analytics forMurmur Labs products and for my personal website (curiouslychase.com).
