Heatmaps in PostHog App #21531

Open benjackwhite opened 7 months ago

benjackwhite commented 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We currently have clickmaps and (soon) heatmaps and scroll depth in the Toolbar. This is great as it allows you to get information relative to the page you are looking at and is very interactive.

This isn't the "norm" however and people likely expect to have something they can find in the normal PostHog app.

Describe the solution you'd like

A Heatmaps section where you can open any page of your app and see a representation of it with the choice to overlay heatmap data, scroll depth or maybe even autocapture data.

There are two options I can see - either we embed your website and take advantage of the toolbar to do most of the heavy lifting, meaning whatever we build for the toolbar works in the web app and vice versa (creating actions etc.), or we take screenshots of the website in question and overlay data on top of it
