What does HackerNews think of posthog?
🦔 PostHog provides open-source product analytics, session recording, feature flagging and a/b testing that you can self-host.
Regardless, I've made a PR to tighten up one of the titles that is confusing here, waiting on build :) https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/pull/6862

Supposedly, One can search github using `language:typescript filename:docker-compose.yml stars:>1000` but it's not working for me somehow.
I already applied 2 weeks ago, but was denied with the reason that you are currently looking for more experienced developers: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/pull/4922
You can deploy it on-premises https://github.com/PostHog/posthog
There are some pieces of missing context I guess. Primarily that we're small still (30 people) so we tend to hire a lot of ex founder / generalist type people (and most are technical) who'd be quite well suited as founders.
One thing I will do is add a more detailed handbook entry to create more clarity around this benefit so we don't mislead/confuse. Issue made (https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/issues/4013)!
I was using Avodocs (https://www.avodocs.com) to produce a privacy policy for our MLOps platform, https://iko.ai, but they didn't have PostHog in the list for the "Analytics" section, and they assumed that doing analytics implied sending user data to a third party site or something.
I tweeted at them and they were lightning fast in reaching out and adding PostHog to the options of the the privacy policy template. It's really cool: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/144733750656389120...

We actually mask the ip address (https://github.com/netdata/dashboard/blob/master/src/domains...) so it's not even sent - we just send "127.0.0.1" as the IP into our self hosted PostHog. Likewise with any URL, referrer type event properties that could leak a hostname to us - we don't want that data at all so explicitly mask it before even capturing it in our telemetry system.
Previously, when using a fairly standard Google Analytics implementation, we could not really have this level of control all that easily.
So the hope is that with PostHog we can do better here while still enabling some really useful product telemetry to help us understand how to make the product better over time and try catch bugs and issues quicker too.
Oh and we have removed Google Tag Manager (GTM) from the agent dashboard too so that that's no longer around as a possibility for loading other third party tags too.

If you don't have any, log user actions when they succeed or fail to do something. Even a simple log can tell you many things.
It also tells you if they're failing to discover or use a certain feature, or if they're using something in an unintended way.
You can set up Slack channels for your product to help users troubleshoot issues. We have workspaces where users can get help. Whenever the 20th user complains about something, what to do next becomes clear. We tend to focus on issues with high frequency and high severity as opposed to say stylesheets, but it's because the field is struggling not for lack of good CSS. But it may be different for you and you may have a product where the value of the product is the better interface. Adjust accordingly.
