About Hogpedia

Hogpedia is an encyclopedia about PostHog: its products, the concepts it works with, its history as a company, and its internal lore. It has 17 articles.

The interface is a recreation of the way English-language encyclopedias looked on the web in 2007. That is a joke about format. The facts are not part of the joke.

How it is sourced

Every factual claim comes from a PostHog first-party source. The main ones are:

• The company story in the handbook, for the timeline and the funding history.
• The glossary in the documentation, for the definitions.
• The lore page in the handbook, for the in-jokes.
• The documentation and the product pages, for what each product does.

A figure that changes over time – a price, a customer count, a headcount – links to the page that states it rather than repeating the number here, so this encyclopedia cannot go stale in a way a reader cannot detect.

What is lore, and what is not

Articles about company lore carry a notice that says so. Those articles are accurate about what happened, and they are written with more gravity than the subject deserves. That is deliberate. An infobox never contains a joke.

Limits

• This is not a neutral encyclopedia. PostHog writes it about itself. See the disclosure on the fundraising page.
• It is not the documentation. For how to use a product, read the docs. Hogpedia explains what a thing is, not how to configure it.
• It has one skin and no dark mode. It is 2007.

Editing

Every article is a Markdown file in contents/hogpedia. The edit link beside each section heading opens that file on GitHub. Recent changes shows the real commit log.
