All our work on the "Website & Docs team" generally revolves around a few themes:
For prospects
Explain what PostHog does and make it easy to understand
Demonstrate our culture, and build cool things that resonate with our audience
For customers
Maintain well-structured docs
Make it easy to find answers to questions
Help find ways to get more value from postHog
For our team

interacting with customers

But it also extends to:

"You'll hate PostHog if..."
Godzilla scene
"This is the call to action"
Dealing with Prinfection
Social media-related things

Billing-related UIs
As it stands now, the website is 80% complete. We can spend more time to get it closer to 90%, or we can work on higher-leverage work, some of which may be in-product.
While "Website & Docs" has traditionally represented the team well, as we move away from this (and do less docs work than marketing does), I propose we change the team name to something that is less specific to one portion of our work, and more accurately reflects what we do:
Team Vibes
Ultimately we bring the vibes wherever people interact with PostHog. We're like a strike team of cracked UI-focused people who move around to work on whatever will :sparkjoy:, regardless of where it is.
As such, I propose we officially rename Website & Docs team to Team Vibes to carry us into the next phase of the work we'll be doing.
