Toolbar for mobile

[ioannisj]

Discussion

We are exploring the potential to implement a toolbar for mobile SDKs, bringing similar functionality to what is already available on the web.

The goal here is to enhance development, debugging and product analytics experiences on mobile platforms.

Possible features of a mobile toolbar may include:

• Creating actions directly from autocapture elements
• Visualizing heatmaps and scroll-depth
• Other features? please share your ideas!

Rough alternatives currently under evaluation:

• In-App Toolbar: Accessible via gestures (e.g. shaking the device) or programmatically. The toolbar will float on top of your app’s UI where you can interact directly with it.
• Remote Toolbar: Accessible through a local gateway server, where all interactions with the toolbar would take place via a browser interface.

We need your input:

We are still figuring out the details, so please share any specific ideas or requirements for your projects. If you know of existing solutions out there that we can draw inspiration from, we’d love to hear about them!

Note: This feature is currently speculative and not planned for development in the near term. We are gathering interest and ideas to evaluate its potential.

Not sure how feasible this is, but I was thinking that the current in-PostHog Heatmap alpha we have would be a good candidate here. In my naive mind you could then overlay heatmap data, and potentially tag identified views as well? The on-device option feels cool but a lot of product people won't have access to the app itself on their device I don't think.

Flutter support would be amazing 😍
