    Thanks! Great questions. 1. Today, we coexist with entitlement solutions (feature flags, auth systems, etc) by either working alongside them or feeding into entitlement aggregators…

    John Bolton and James Bach are the founders of RST [1] and generally big names in the “formal” software testing space. Presumably the testers.ai folks aren’t fans. :p [1] https://r…

    This looks nice! I noticed that you mention logos in the docs but don’t see a way to specify one. Maybe I missed it?

    Maybe they’ve been added since you looked, but there are two Beecher’s-related cheeses listed for Seattle [1][2]. You have to click the number next to the Seattle dog to see the co…

    Some of these immediately resonate. I'd love (4) to be a reality but it's going to be a struggle to get there, not that it isn't worth striving for. And while I agree with (5), the…

    This is cool! We're just starting to look into this area as we integrate pricing/billing/plan logic and entitlements at scale. Thanks for the example and reminder to read through t…

    > ironically with totally non-transparent pricing Oh man tell me about it. I also think the trend towards metered, pay-as-you-go pricing in general doesn't make sense for many busi…

    I'm actually working on a solution to plan entitlements among other similar functionality right now. While you can get a basic solution set up with feature flags, we've found that …

    It’s kinda clever. The people most likely to look at this project are also likely ideal candidates for implementing the library in a new language (Developer, FOSS enthusiast, inter…

    Definitely agree. Ideally you’d be able to extend the search engine list in Safari’s settings but alas.

    I know we’re really getting into the weeds here, but I’m curious what issues you’re having with iOS Safari and Kagi. I’m using it with both normal and private tabs and it’s working…

    Except it isn't a fork. It's basically two projects merged into a new one and a small blurb in the readme to that effect. Why not fork and contact John about taking the original on…

    Thanks! Glad to help. Definitely exciting to see some new competition in this space (or in this case, old competition getting refreshed). (I'm a founder at AppThwack)
