Feature management for your JavaScript applications
summary
Proposal: adopt a git-backed, CI-built workflow that stores feature definitions as YAML and outputs static JSON files uploaded to a CDN; evaluations happen locally via a tiny runtime. Claim: Feature Visor hits v1.0 stable in December, its JavaScript runtime is about 7 KB SDK, and a project can be live in 30 minutes using a repo + pipeline. It supports attributes, segments, gradual rollouts, remote variables, offline initial features for cache, and has a GUI PR pending.
