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.
