PostHog Is an Incredible Product

Guys, I gotta tell you, PostHog is an absolutely incredible product. It’s an analytics platform absolutely packed with features. They’ve got hundreds of thousands of users.

And the development process there is super clean and transparent. The documentation is so convenient and detailed, the processes are so clear, everything is adapted for AI agents. Haven’t seen anything like it since GitLab.

I’ve been using Paddle for payments recently and needed analytics reports for payout amounts. So I just went into the PostHog repo, found the similar Stripe data source, and built the same thing for Paddle.

Threw together the code in a couple hours, tested it locally, opened a pull request, and they merged it. That simple.

From the moment they approved the merge request to when I had my feature in production took one hour!

(Okay fine, I spent a month trying to pass all their CI checks, validators, and tests, but it was worth it)

This is a massively popular open-source project that anyone can contribute to and see their feature hit prod an hour after the merge!

Literally every interaction with this product pleasantly surprised me. They’ve got a lot to teach. Had to share these vibes with you.
