Gutenberg Release Monitor

A dashboard for visualizing release statistics. Built for WordPress Gutenberg, but the frontend is generic as it just renders JSON. You can swap in your own data scripts to track any project.

What it does

• Track PRs by category (features, bugs, accessibility, performance, etc.)
• Group releases by parent version (e.g., which Gutenberg releases ship in WordPress 6.8)
• See contributor breakdowns by sponsor and country (privacy-first: only aggregates, no individual data stored)
• Interactive charts with multiple visualization options
• Shareable URLs that preserve your selections
• Dark mode

Quick Start

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173

How it works

The dashboard reads JSON files from public/data/. The included scripts fetch data from GitHub, but you could generate these files however you want.

public/
├── config/
│   ├── project.json      # Tabs, labels, defaults
│   └── categories.json   # Category colors and groupings
└── data/
    ├── gb-releases.json  # Individual releases
    ├── wp-cycles.json    # Grouped by WP version
    └── summary.json      # Overall stats

Refreshing data

npm run data-sync:all              # Fetch releases + compute aggregates
npm run data-sync:contributor-stats # Add sponsor/country breakdowns (slow)

Data refreshes automatically every Thursday via GitHub Actions.

Using this for another project

1. Edit public/config/project.json to change tabs and labels
2. Edit public/config/categories.json to define your category groupings
3. Generate JSON files matching the schema in Data Types
4. Optionally modify or replace the scripts in scripts/

See Configuration Guide for details.
