PostHog is a more full-featured analytics solution than Plausible.

It can be self-hosted and would enable the following things we currently can't do (this is what comes to my mind immediately, there might be more, but let's assume this is it for now):

  • heat maps (useful for for getting estimates on how well the Tour of OCaml and other documentation is performing - especially, which sections are "hot")
  • ability to host our user research and satisfaction surveys on OCaml infrastructure in a more privacy-minded way (as opposed to Google Forms we are currently using)
  • tracking of outbound clicks (helpful to better understand activity on the community and news pages, e.g. events/jobs/ocaml planet/changelog/etc)

It is possible that PostHog might be suitable to entirely replace Plausible, but at this point I do not want to make any claims or requests in this regard.

Would it be possible to add a posthog instance to the OCaml.org infrastructure?
