Hey folks, excited to finally unveil Dark and show you what we’ve been working on! We haven’t publicly shown how Dark works before, what code is like, or how deployless works. We hope you like it. We’re not fully publicly available yet (we hope you’ll excuse this Show HN when you can’t use it, sorry!), but we’re working hard to open Dark up to more people. Would love to hear your feedback. I’ll be around all day to a…
Congrats! I'm very interested to see how Dark progresses, and wish you all luck. I don't have time to write anything, so I'm not signing up for your beta, but I kinda wish I had the time.
How does version management work with dark? Do I get access to the "raw text files"?
The idea is that you use feature flags to manage versions (my video on the blog post goes through that workflow). We haven't yet got features to support moving back to old versions (apart from undo), but we will.
Ugh, why embed tiny videos that can't go full screen.
It feels like forcing users to learn a new language is a step too far here - I can't imagine a ton of people are so eager to build slackbots that they're willing to give up all their existing tools.
This is an honest worry for an older developer like me. When you're young, your eyes can focus on just about anything. This changes as you get older. A dark mode causes your pupils to open wider, where a light mode gets them to stop down. And if your lenses are imperfect, stopping down helps make things sharper.
I'm posting this as a reminder and plea to younger developers: no matter how much you love your dark modes, please consider those of us who can't focus on them, and give light modes full support too. Thanks!

We combine version control, deployment and feature flags, with the intention of simplifying the three concepts into one. The idea is that you use feature flags to manage versions (my video on the blog post goes through that workflow).
