Can you share the pulse URL for the onload on the page itself?

Yeah, that would be helpful. Some kind of live demo/video would be more engaging than the static images on your current landing page. Looks like it could be cool!

Is this mainly for novelty/fun or is there a serious use for this?

"Pulse is for team leaders and individuals who believe software is created by and for humans."

I feel like you can glean your answer from that statement.

I do agree with that statement (in quotes) and if the purpose of Pulse is to be reminded of this then I think that's a novel idea and perhaps lightens the mood alongside Mixpanel/Google Analytics etc.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that plain images aren't that compelling. I'll work on a more dynamic demonstration.

I'm not sure what you mean - which page?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah exactly. I've sat in so many engineering rooms with graphs that, while colorful, end up obscuring the human users behind them. Pulse isn't trying to replace New Relic, Datadog, etc but complement them.
