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.

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?)

Why can't the color mode default to the system instead of defaulting to eye fryingly bright white?

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.
