Event Introduction: The speaker introduces themselves and Corey, a lead designer from Post Hog, at the beginning of a presentation about Post Hog's website and its development using Strappy, a headless CMS.
Post Hog Overview: Post Hog offers a suite of tools for engineers, including product analytics and session replay. The posthog.com website is a critical sales channel and resource center, hosting technical documentation, tutorials, community forums, and the company handbook.
Website Team and Tech Stack: The website is managed by a small team, including the speaker and a developer, Eli. It uses Gatsby, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS and is hosted on Vercel. The site aims to be a world-class, fully controlled platform.
Initial Challenges and Solutions: Initially, the website was static, but the team needed to scale beyond this, adding community forums and profiles. They created an interactive widget for asking questions within their documentation, but it needed to be more scalable.
Transition to Strapi: Strapi was chosen for its lightweight nature, self-hosting capability, and alignment with Post Hog's no third-party cookies policy. It was important for Strapi to integrate seamlessly with Post Hog's existing workflow and GitHub-based content management.
Strapi's Role and Features: Strapi now powers user accounts, community forums, and content management. It interfaces with Gatsby for site building, sends data to Algolia for indexing, and integrates with Slack and ZenDesk where necessary.
Demonstration of Strapi's Capabilities: The speaker demonstrates how Strapi is used on Post Hog's website, particularly in managing the Q&A section. The questions can be asked within forums or documentation pages and are hosted on Strapi. Users can interact with the content, sign up for updates, and use moderator tools.
Overall Benefits: Strapi enhanced Post Hog's website by providing a scalable CMS solution that integrates with its existing technology stack and workflow, efficiently managing dynamic content and user interaction.
