Biography

When I first discovered programming, it was like having superpowers. I could create things and make the pixels look exactly as I wanted - imagination was the limit. I could then keep optimising things. Learn something new, apply the new superpowers, celebrate the results, repeat!

Fast forwarding a decade of using these superpowers, with a stopover at UCL (where I met other epic builders), I'm now building awesome things at PostHog.

Things that keep me away from the screen include:

  • Reading
  • Football (both playing and watching COYG!)
  • Hiking
  • Discovering new restaurants every weekend

    We now support setting alerts for monitoring day over day/week over week change in an insight value (just as requested by a lot of users)! You can also set these 'relative' alerts to trigger for percentage based thresholds (eg. signups decreasing by over 5% week over week)

    Alerts which are firing also support a 'snooze button' now. So you can choose not to get notified about the alert until a preset duration.

    We have a very rough version of alerting available for trends without breakdowns (breakdown support coming soon) on which we wanted some user feedback. Have enabled a few people for this feature, if anyone's very keen try it out just reach out to me at anirudh@posthog.com

    The current version, lets you set alerts on trends without breakdowns from the dropdown on the page for the insight, and you can view all the alerts you've setup on the 'Product Analytics' page under the 'Alerts' tab
