Product analytics. Session replay, feature flags, A/B tests.
Plain language
What is it?
A tool that shows you how users actually use your app — which features they click, where they drop off, and session recordings of real interactions.
Why use it at a hackathon?
After launch, you need to understand if your app is actually solving the problem. Posthog shows you user behavior so you can improve the right things.
Common use
Understanding if health app users find the right resources, seeing where civic tool users get confused, tracking feature adoption for educational platforms.
