BigQuery Release Pulse

A beautiful, premium web dashboard tracking BigQuery Release Notes in real-time, built with Python Flask and vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS.

The dashboard enables you to track new features, announcements, deprecations, and issues, and provides an interactive X/Twitter composer to quickly share updates using official X Web Intents.

Features

• Real-Time Atom XML Parsing: Fetches release notes directly from Google Cloud Platform.
• Category Filter & Search: Instantly filters updates by category (Features, Announcements, Issues, Deprecations) and parses plaintext content for regex searches.
• Glassmorphism Design System: Sleek, immersive dark mode dashboard with ambient floating background orbs and glowing cards.
• Interactive X Composer: Custom mock Twitter/X editor that mimics the actual character limits (accounting for the 23-character URL limit) with a real-time progress ring indicator.
• Server Caching: Limits requests to Google Cloud feeds to once every 5 minutes by default, with dynamic force-refresh triggers.
