Open-source product analytics, session recording, feature flagging and A/B testing that you can self-host. Everything engineers need to build better products.
Honestly the marketing from posthog is pretty cool. they have a super strong brand identity at this point. im sure someone has masterminded this and imo they deserve alot of credit!
@catt_marroll I'll pass along your kind remarks, it means a lot to us. In fact many people have masterminded it! I work with the smartest and most talented people I've met in my career and so much of it comes down to each individual person really caring about the work and doing their best to push the message forward a tiny bit at a time, and helping their peers do the same. I'm still stunned by it all.

hey! we run posthog, the toolkit for building successful products - a single platform for building products, talking to users and shipping new features. we are 5 years old, have 140k customers and are making multiple $10s of millions of revenue.
no question's too weird. we're super transparent so will probs overshare anyway. plg? fundraising? yc? working with your cofounder? why we publicly document all our bad decisions? our allergy to enterprise sales? we've an open book so ask us anything!
Tim (my cofounder and co-CEO) and I started with quite asymmetric experience.
I had previously been a VP of sales, responsible for sales, support, and account management. Tim was an insanely talented, 23-year-old engineer, and was much earlier in his career I m nearly 10 years older.
value self‑hosted insights with privacy control. Broader users highlight session replays, feature flags, and intuitive dashboards. Minor critiques mention UI polish and learning curve, but overall sentiment is enthusiastic and adoption-sticky.
PostHog gives us deep insights into how users interact with our AI workflow editor. Understanding user journeys through complex visual workflows — where they click, what features they use, where they get stuck — helps us continuously improve the experience. The self-hostable, open-source nature aligns perfectly with our values. Thank you for building such a powerful and privacy-conscious analytics platform!
I’ve been using PostHog for about 3 months, and it has quickly become one of my favorite tools for understanding and improving our product.
What I like:
The web and product analytics dashboards are intuitive and provide deep insights into user behavior.
Session replay has been incredibly helpful in identifying UX issues and understanding how real users interact with features.
The feature flag functionality makes controlled rollouts super easy — no need for extra infrastructure or tools.
I love that everything (analytics, replays, feature flags, and experiments) is built into one platform, which saves a ton of time switching between tools.
I think they have a great platform and right abstractions of events, actions, etc. that's getting more feature rich every week and it's great that since it's still a somewhat young project they are really open to feedback and suggestions and actually are able to continually deliver improvement in the product on an ongoing basis which is pretty delightful as an end user.
Last thing that's a biggie for me too is the great culture and openness of the project and team - it's just been so easy and painless to work with them. Even if we do run into some sort of issue or feature we might want to see in the product - its as simple as a feature request in the GH repo and can have full transparency and tracking on it from there as well as see if other users feel the same way. So this lets you feel like you can easily be part of the community around PostHog and help to continually make it better.

Does Poshog work with Figma plugins?

@himanshuraikwar if your code can hit our API, you can log events with it! If you're using node it's pretty easy. Here's an example from our wizard tool: https://github.com/PostHog/wizard/blob/main/src/utils/analytics.ts
A tiny 3D-printed dev gadget that sparks joy? Love it already...
Open-source and built for play—definitely something devs didn’t know they needed :))

LOL ... thanks for the kit. I'm going to try to use my daughter's Toybox 3D printer to make this!

@laura_cruickshanks can't wait to hear how it goes!
