Auto-document your analytics setup (npx package)

Hey HN, sharing an npx package that I’ve been working on to help teams automatically document their analytics setups. It crawls any JS/TS codebase and generates a YAML schema that catalogs all the events, properties, and triggers. Currently supporting GA, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Rudderstack, mParticle, PostHog, Pendo, Heap, Snowplow. Let me know if there’s any more I should add to the list! Came out of a personal pain where I was struggling to keep tabs on all the analytics events we had implemented. The “tracking plan” spreadsheets just weren’t cutting it, and I wanted…

In plain words

This npx package automatically documents analytics implementations by crawling JavaScript and TypeScript codebases to generate a YAML schema. It catalogs events, properties, and triggers across ten analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Rudderstack, mParticle, PostHog, Pendo, Heap, and Snowplow. The tool is designed for development teams that need to maintain accurate tracking documentation without manually updating spreadsheets as code evolves.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, sharing an npx package that I’ve been working on to help teams automatically document their analytics setups. It crawls any JS/TS codebase and generates a YAML schema that catalogs all the events, properties, and triggers. Currently supporting GA, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Rudderstack, mParticle, PostHog, Pendo, Heap, Snowplow. Let me know if there’s any more I should add to the list! Came out of a personal pain where I was struggling to keep tabs on all the analytics events we had implemented. The “tracking plan” spreadsheets just weren’t cutting it, and I wanted something that would automatically update as the code changed. Hoping it’ll be helpful to other folks as well. Also open to suggestions for things I can build on top of this! Perhaps a code check tool to detect breaking changes or some UI to view this info when you’re querying your analytics data? Would love your thoughts and feedback!

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
