At PostHog, we're working to increase the number of successful products in the world. Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording, web analytics, feature flags, and A/B testing are all helpful, but no one wants to buy, send data to, and integrate multiple products. PostHog offers these tools (and more) in an integrated, open source platform which can be hosted in either the US or EU. Both versions are SOC2 certified, GDPR-ready, and HIPAA compliant. We started PostHog during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on Hacker News since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old. With over 100,000 users, we're default alive, growing 97% through word of mouth, and we are in the top 0.01% most popular repos on GitHub.

What's the difference between a *software* engineer and a *growth* engineer? It's all in the mindset. 💡 Hypothesis over requirements. Software engineers work on features users clearly need. Growth engineers work on more unknowns and care more about exploration and discovery. To do this, they develop hypotheses and run experiments to validate their assumptions. 🔁 Iteration over stability. While most engineers focus on developing stable, bug-free code, growth engineers would rather fail fast and iterate. For example, a software engineer might feel uncomfortable adding a dependency before evaluating it, while a growth engineer will ship it to help them test faster. 📈 Pragmatism over perfection. Growth engineers know their experiments might fail and get removed. This means they ship the "good enough" version over the maintainable and scalable one. They know they can always improve it later.

You can now sort your replays by: ⏱️ Length (total duration, active time, or inactive time) 🖱️ Activity (most clicks, key presses, or mouse movement) ⚠️ Errors (showing replays with the most errors first) This makes it easier to find recordings that include the things you're looking for. Choosing 'most clicks', for example, will show you replays where the user completed lots of actions. Choosing errors will help you find areas of your app that have the most problems that need fixing.
One of our most requested features is now available as a beta: React Native session replay. It supports all the usual replay features, such as masking sensitive content, and is quick to setup too. React Native replays will remain in beta while we gather feedback and file off any rough edges. If you want to see it reach general release quickly then be sure to send us your feedback!

We recently added an 'Outbound clicks' report to web analytics, so you can see the links that people click on to leave your website. Now, Robbie has added a new check using the `cutToFirstSignificantSubdomain` function in ClickHouse, which enables us to exclude subdomains on external clicks. This means you should only see clicks to external websites, rather than people going to your app or other subdomains, via your website.
You can stop complaining about GA4 and start using PostHog now because our web analytics product is out of beta. 🎉 Web analytics makes it easy to analyze things like: - Unique users - Pageviews - Session duration - Bounce rate - Most popular pages - Outbound clicks - Referring domains and UTMs - Device type and OS It's bundled with product analytics, so you get 1 million events free every month. You can also save money by sending anonymous events on your website. Also coming soon... incredibly easy conversion tracking from the web analytics dashboard. Seriously, it's insanely easy. 🦔

Your brand isn't just your website, it's also... - How much you invest in each part of your company - What you look for when you hire people - How you decide what to build - Whether your ship early or polish - How (and how often) you email customers - The kind of people you hire into customer success or sales - The background and experience of those in your marketing team - The tone of voice on your website - Who is on your board - How your pricing works - How your social media works - How helpful you are to random founders that message you - The marketing channels you pick - What you talk about in your blog and why TL;DR: People buy companies, not just products.
