Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate it
I personally wouldn't even send those long queries to mixpanel, because it will be hard to make heads or tails of them
Yes, somewhat true. What it does allow me to do, however, is easily filter the queries I care about, e.g. the ones from a certain segment of my user base, and then do a deeper analysis on that outside of Mixpanel. I hear you when you say it should be logged in a db. Downside of that is that for me, as a product person, getting that set up by our engineers is going to be painful, not to mention I spent so much time in Mixpanel, I rather have all the data there 🙂
for starters, strings get cut off at like 256 characters or something
Good to know! Thanks for highlighting that. I see how many of our users' queries would exceed that.
