studio VS PostHog

> Especially a tool like RViz is always missing. And in many many robotics video I see (of a moderately complex robot), there's ROS's RViz on some screen.

I would love the future robotics development stack to be more modular, so that (for example) future middleware solutions don't need to also bundle their own visualization software. This was direct inspiration for creating Foxglove Studio[0] for visualization and MCAP[1] for logging - both work great with ROS, or equally well without it.

That's the true strength of combining existing open source solutions. Thanks for the great support of Foxglove Inc. over the past few years.

It's a common misconception that you need a ML or robotics PhD to work in the field. There are plenty of frontend & backend web engineering, data engineering, and infrastructure/devops roles available at robotics companies - you don't need to be a domain expert.

For example, at Foxglove[0] we are building open source web-based visualization and data management for robotics (shameless plug: currently hiring).

You can use the rosbag commandline-tool to figure out all of this: http://wiki.ros.org/rosbag/Commandline rosbag info for example can give you some of the type/number of messages information. For more complex stuff, you could use https://foxglove.dev/ to visualize and inspect rosbags

Web-based data visualization for robotics and self-driving. Robotics is such an interesting industry, and we're only scratching the surface of what new tools are needed.

Try it live here (hit "view sample data"): https://studio.foxglove.dev/

And it's open source! https://github.com/foxglove/studio

When our team at Foxglove announced MCAP, we wanted to empower teams to spend less time building commodity tools and more time tackling their hardest robotics challenges.

Dev tools for robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Robotics will have a massive positive impact on the world economy and global human productivity over the coming decade. At Foxglove, we're building powerful web-based open source & commercial tools to accelerate this trend.

We're a small, highly experienced, and fast moving team. We're looking to hire several more people (most roles don't require previous robotics experience, unless specified below):

- Senior Frontend Engineer (react, typescript, some webgl+wasm)

- Senior Full Stack Engineer (typescript, some golang)

- First Product Manager (robotics/AV experience required)

- First Account Executive (infrastructure SaaS experience required)

React + Typescript. Forgot to mention it’s open source so you can see for yourself:

It would be a shame not to mention PostHog as the telemetry provider we are using, since it turned out to be extremely useful. Because it is hard to find people who will talk with you about your product, gathering statistics gave us a much greater insight into our users.

6- PostHog

Hi HN, PostHog employee here. I'm working on our Web Analytics product, which is currently in beta. It's fun to see us mentioned here :)

I should mention that we have a ton of SDKs (see https://posthog.com/docs/libraries) for back end frameworks and languages, so if you wanted to use PostHog without any client-side JS you could send pageviews and other events manually, but for the vast majority of people it makes more sense to use our JS snippet.

Hijacking this comment to share the roadmap for web analytics https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/18547. It's very much in the launch-early-and-be-embarassed phase, but I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions that people have, particularly if you're already a PostHog user.

how's this different than https://posthog.com/ ?

PostHog - Open Source Alternative to Mixpanel

Don't insert the logs/events/analytics into your Application DB. Usually, you send those to specialist datastores (OLAP etc) that process such high volume of data. You can use something like clickhouse [0] for example or use 3rd party SAAS solutions like posthog [1] etc that are built on top of clickhouse

I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.

Now...

Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

There seems to be posthog.com analytics and AB or feature flag functionality that is blocked by adblockers. Probably that?
