Product placement

MiniHog ACTS - it is the app being built and demonstrated. Removing it would change the video. PostHog ACTS - its query API is used to fetch data for the app. Removing it would change the video. Flutter APPEARS - it is mentioned as the framework used to build the app, but not directly operated. Removing it would not change the video. Syncfusion charts ACTS - it is used to display graphs in the app. Removing it would change the video.

super simple app set up i used to build my latest app in 10 days i wanted an easier way to check my product analytics from my phone MiniHog PostHog Analytics On The Go posthog doesn't have a mobile app so i decided to build my own fetch all necessary data with posthog's query API this was surprisingly easy to build bc posthog has really robust APIs to keep the app super simple i only used local storage aka the app does not have a backend used syncfusion charts library for the graphs i researched a bunch of chart libs and this was my favorite used chart_sparkline for the little sparklines in the dashboard view the sparklines make it so convenient to keep a pulse on my analytics
