Show HN: FeatureFlags.app – Feature Management for .NET(featureflags.app)

Feature flags are common these days, and the .NET feature management library provides a lot of the plumbing to make them easy to get started with. The missing piece is a UI for managing flags - unless you are using Azure App Configuration. Relying on `appSettings.json` gets awkward when non-technical users need to change flags, deploys are slow, or the application is running in a distributed environment.

I built FeatureFlags.app to fill that gap - a simple UI for managing .NET feature flags that doesn't require Azure App Configuration. It's still early, so I'd love feedback from anyone who has dealt with feature flags in .NET.

There are tons of solutions to this problem, including from Microsoft/dotnet itself. Why should I ever pay 10$ per month for the service?

There are many options in this space. But if you don't want to roll your own provider, the only way to use Microsoft's management solution is via Azure. Or try to manage it all via json files - which potentially require infrastructure to manage if you have a more complex architecture. Some developers prefer to avoid using Azure, and this provides the infrastructure they need.
