    Date: Aug 09 2022

    Summary: Hotjar can be a good tool for collecting user analytics and understanding their difficulties using your site. It offers a wide variety of features including screen recordings, heat maps, and feedback surveys, but it's fairly expensive.

    Positive: - collects a huge amount of information about how a user interacts with a web page, including heat maps and even an actual screen recording of their interaction
    - offers feedback survey functionality to poll users
    - easy to use UI

    Negative: - pricing is a bit expensive for bigger sites
    - while the JS loads asynchronously so as to not block page loading time, it does make the page run a bit slower on less powerful devices
