Very cool. I guess the website worked, I just bought a nice mug from their store :D

Please stop that; you're creating the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect a second time. The fact that a web browser is an inner platform with respect to the bare-metal operating system is bad enough already.

> I have 12 new tabs open – all indistinguishable from each other because they share the same favicon.

Nothing precludes you from declaring a different favicon per page or per author. That's a site design problem, not a browser software problem.

> It has [...] keyboard shortcuts

Yet, I can't even scroll your page using my usual keys of Up/Down/Space/Shift+Space/PgUp/PgDn. That is rather disrespectful to my preferences, before you throw in all that unnecessary inner window chrome.

My bank 20 years ago had an “OS like” online banking system. I remember it fondly!

Yet both ctrl+click and vimium mostly work as expected. That's good.

this is "cool" but this doesn't appeal to the enterprise customer. but it seems like they aren't targeting them and building a "good enough" suite until you have to graduate.

I think that might be my favorite website. I love it, so much content.

The slight x overflow on the content container on mobile is maddening.

Neat.

But the text on the sidebar moves by a few px when you hover the mouse over it.

Very annoying.

i miss the old web where websites were fun, so this is kind of neat. on the other hand i’m not a huge fan of sites so loaded with js that performance is abysmal.

An operating system UI solves a specific problem: presenting all of your files and applications in a GUI that's flexible enough to support a wide range of fundamental activities.

A company landing page basically has two jobs: (1) sell the product and (2) let existing users access the product.

Applying the OS UI to a company landing page applies the wrong tool to the wrong problem.

My browser has tabs – I can open multiple blog posts and read them separately. I don't want to read them while playing a random novelty video game on a SaaS company website.

I commend the author of this website because it is cool and well-designed, but this is not an effective product.

The caveat to this is that the design is thought-provoking. So maybe Posthog gets some buzz and leads because of the discussion among technical people about its new website.
