 ## What the tool is doing
 
 If you are interested in writing your own script, or just want to learn more about how Mixpanel and PostHog work, here is what the tool is doing:
 
 1. Load the details from the `.env` file and prompt for any missing details (like date range).
-2. Make `GET` requests to the Mixpanel API using the details. 
-3. Decode and format the response data from Mixpanel to one for PostHog. For example, change `Pageview` to `$pageview` and parse the properties. 
-4. Return a "[slice](https://go.dev/tour/moretypes/7)" of formatted `MixpanelDataLine` instances. Basically, a list of formatted event objects ready to import into PostHog.
-5. Loop through the "slice" of formatted `MixpanelDataLine` instances and use the PostHog Client (set up with the `.env` details) to capture events.

+    - Changing event properties like `current_url_path` to `$pathname`
+    - Dropping some Mixpanel specific properties
