Umami VS PostHog

Basically Umami is open-source tool that allows us - content creators collect data about our users. For example, I like to track the way users come to my blog or most popular articles, so I can modify pinned ones. Also, it's focused on privacy. For example, user data are analyzed by default, also there is no cross-site tracking, so umami tracks users only on a particular website.

I shut down a companion app based on a game I'd reverse engineered and built over the last 2-3 months. The companion app, among other things, generated insights https://bizarre.gg/meta.

I actually used Umami and mention it in the video. Admittedly, it was a mistake for my use case. I had to heavily modify Umami due to lack of features and performance. There are a also lot of bugs in the project which are immediately revealed simply by enabling TypeScript strict mode, and some more linting rules. Granted, I was not really using Umami exactly as intended. I do think it's great this project exists, and whilst I had to heavily modify it for my use case, I did at least help the upstream project diagnose an issue: https://github.com/umami-software/umami/pull/2946#issuecomme...

Update: for now I've decided on Umami, it works pretty well for what I need

Send events to analytics tools like PostHog.

For SaaS startups looking for a powerful, privacy-conscious analytics platform, PostHog provides an all-in-one solution designed for modern product teams.

The next rung up are User recordings. For users that are having issues, we have concrete recorded data for their flow. The flows would include anything relevant to the application, how they used it, what actions they took. All so we can actually see what happened in context for when there is a problem. No one wants to spend any time looking at recordings if they don't have to. It is also very difficult to identify the root cause of problems by reviewing a recording, but having them is indispensable to your support engineers when they need them, when a user has reported a issue. Solutions include PostHog, FullStory, Sentry. If you don't have these recordings, then the next best alternative (which is very far away) is getting a live screencast from the user. These are less useful, and more expensive to obtain. Worst of all, they can and have been used to breach sensitive systems.

Posthog. Posthog has a lot of sub products but I use it mainly for analytics and session replays. I have to say Posthog is an impressive product. Everything from dev experience to dashboards is just awesome. Great to see GA finally got some real competition. I'm looking forward to try all the other products from them.

We use tools like Posthog to measure how users are using our products. This allows us to see what features are being used and which ones are not.

For product analytics, Posthog is simply the best. The best feature you will find useful is Session Replay (you will actually see how your users use the app).

If you're building a modern web application with Remix and deploying it on Cloudflare Pages, incorporating analytics can be invaluable. PostHog is a powerful product analytics tool that provides insights into user behavior, feature usage, and more, helping you make informed decisions to improve your application. In this article, I will walk you through integrating PostHog into a Remix app, specifically focusing on how to use it in loaders and actions while ensuring compatibility with Cloudflare Pages.
