       Show HN: Feature Flags Backed by Git
        
       Hey all,  I'm the founder of Flipt, an open-source
       (https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt) feature flag tool that I (and
       others) have been working on for the past few years.  About a year
       or two ago we added support for serving flag state from various
       non-relational declarative stores like Git, OCI, Object Store, etc.
       Many of our users came to love the git-backed storage, as it allows
       them to keep their feature flags close to their code in there
       organization's repos. But they had one (rather large) ask, and that
       was the ability to use the UI to manage flag state changes and
       still use Git as the backend.  So today we're rolling out our
       hosted solution that does exactly that (and more soon).  I would
       love any feedback, questions, etc, or if anyone would give it a
       spin! Happy to extend the 14-day trial as well for anyone
       interested in providing product feedback.  Thanks!!

       | to get that to work.

       | edit: it also seems silly to force users to choose an
       | organization name with a big warning that they can't change it
       | later. Why stop me from signing up? I almost didn't sign up
       | because of this, but decided I would just try it out.
