DeskHog - A developer toy from PostHog

It's a developer toy that brings developers joy. Open-source. 3D-printed. Palm-sized.

Can it play Doom? ...We're working on it.

Okay, you got an audible laugh out of me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Honestly the marketing from posthog is pretty cool. they have a super strong brand identity at this point. im sure someone has masterminded this and imo they deserve alot of credit!

Danilo Campos

@catt_marroll I'll pass along your kind remarks, it means a lot to us. In fact many people have masterminded it! I work with the smartest and most talented people I've met in my career and so much of it comes down to each individual person really caring about the work and doing their best to push the message forward a tiny bit at a time, and helping their peers do the same. I'm still stunned by it all.

(I'm eight months in; I was given budget to build this in my fourth month)

Glad to see another great launch from PostHog, always creating amazing and in this time funny tools!

Does Poshog work with Figma plugins?

Danilo Campos

@himanshuraikwar if your code can hit our API, you can log events with it! If you're using node it's pretty easy. Here's an example from our wizard tool: https://github.com/PostHog/wizard/blob/main/src/utils/analytics.ts

A tiny 3D-printed dev gadget that sparks joy? Love it already...

Open-source and built for playโ€”definitely something devs didnโ€™t know they needed :))

Laura Cruickshanks

LOL ... thanks for the kit. I'm going to try to use my daughter's Toybox 3D printer to make this!

Danilo Campos

@laura_cruickshanks can't wait to hear how it goes!

A travel version that attaches to laptop lids is something I would suggest looking into. Since so many developers bring their equipment with them, it would make a fun and unusual way to identify them at meetings or conferences.

Danilo Campos

@abhishek_warmack Funny you should mention: definitely prototyped exactly this. maybe I'll throw a variant of the 3D printing file up...

Love the concept! ๐ŸŽฎ A tactile, open-source dev toy is such a fresh take on developer engagement. The 3D-printed + palm-sized design makes it feel accessible yet special. PostHog always nails the "fun meets function" vibe.
