Changes

This is an in-depth breakdown between PostHog and Fathom Analtyics. It follows a similar structure to the ones we have for Sentry and Plausible.

Useful resources

This is unrelated to the current post I'm writing, but I just noticed it in
production and didn't want to forget to fix. Not sure how I fucked this up.
I felt like the screenshots are probably one of the easiest ways to see
the similarities between the two products, so it felt like a good idea to
move this up towards the top of the page.

This is a lot of screenshots to have all at once, maybe move them below the table with some context on why you are including them? For example:

"In terms of design, both PostHog and Fathom's web analytics dashboards look similar..."

(PostHog screenshot)

"The big difference is that PostHog includes sessions where Fathom only includes visitors"

(Fathom screenshot)

we desperately need a carousel option for screenshots!
