Does Heap track event streams like mouse position and scrolling? The storage overhead would be significantly larger than instantaneous events like clicks, but this data would be interesting.

Unfortunately, we're not tracking those events now, mostly because they don't fit neatly into the event-based analytics model (i.e. they're not as "graphable").

But that doesn't mean they aren't important. Agreed the data can be very useful.
