DemoBitesWhat is Pulse?
Pulse is a lightweight “What’s New” widget that embeds on your website or app, showing your latest bites to users in context. One script tag, zero maintenance, your feed updates automatically whenever you publish.
Overview
Users want to know what changed in your product. Changelogs are ignored, email digests go unread, and in-app banners are annoying. Pulse solves this by placing a curated feed of your latest bites directly inside your product, exactly where users are already looking.
Embed Pulse with a single script tag. When you publish new bites, the widget updates automatically for all users. No redeploy, no cache busting, no manual work.
What Pulse looks like
Pulse appears as a floating panel on your page. Here’s a preview of the widget overlaying a typical application:
New Dashboard Analytics
NEWReal-time metrics and custom date ranges for your workspace.
Bulk Export Feature
NEWExport multiple bites at once as a ZIP archive.
Team Permissions Update
Granular role-based access for workspace members.
