If anyone here is using PostHog: Is it just me or their service is ridiculously slow? Like the simplest queries can take a dozen seconds or so.

Also, I seem to be losing a lot of screen recording for non-bot like traffic. There “not found” message is also not clear why the recording failed.

It would have been much better if they focused on their core product instead of making all these gimmicks.

I hate the new website. I know the product well enough so know what content is on their site and yet I struggle to navigate the new design. It also really doesn’t make me want to.

It also makes me scared for the product itself, it doesn’t feel made by people who understand or care about UX.

It seems a workaround. Browsers suck so let's make a browser ... hell ... a full blown OS UI inside a web page? One that is bespoke for our site.

I prefer the semantics of deep bookmarkable urls to open things in new tabs. HATEOAS! And using my OS tiling to handle things. Choosing my browser/plugins too for better tab management (maybe Arc can help here?)

Looks like a timeout for me, at the moment.

I love it for a marketing website.

It would be a hard no from me if the actual product/application was like this though.
