One of the features we're excited about adding is a way to cache values locally. Having control of cache ttl and refresh intervals would be a must if we added that. You're right that the tool should just work without the developer worrying about affecting latency.

const rollout_percent = await varse_client.getNumber('rollout_percent');

const random_number = Math.random() * 100;

if (random_number <= rollout_percent) {

// do gated action and will trigger for 1% of users when rollout_percent === 1

}

Also, we should probably put restrictions the keyname scheme. Ideally, it should be something readable.

Have you used Feature Flags in the past? I'm curious what your experience was.

We wanted a simple way to update application configs, without redeploying. We wanted to remotely set variables, and read them in our application. We created Varse to do this.

Varse has a dashboard for creating key - value pairs and an SDK to read them. It's un-opinionated and allows for strings, booleans, or even json objects to be stored.

We have instructions for running it yourself. We also have a hosted version where you can create an account and manage variables.

This is our first time building an open source project. We'd love feedback on how to do it right.

We launched Repaint on HN a little over a month ago. At that point, it was a website builder. There was a lot of feedback that Repaint should directly export code. We took this feedback and decided to change the editor.

We completely cut website hosting and decided to focus solely on code export. We’ve added templates for login forms and dashboards to help you get started.

The editor experience is similar to Figma. It is a WebGL canvas that has panning and zooming. The internal data-structure is a DOM, like HTML. The style attributes on each node map directly to CSS. Exporting the styles has no translation problems.

At Repaint, we spend a lot of time translating designs to code. We’re excited to build something that will help improve our own workflow.

We’re hoping to talk to anyone who has issues translating designs to code. If this is something that would help you, please to reach out to izak@repaint.com.

Plugins either seem to either provide too little detail (Figma Dev mode) or feel too bloated (Anima).

Has this been your experience as well? Do you have any alternatives that you've liked?

What do you mean drawn live? The content is animated, but is still present in the DOM for indexing purposes.
