The setup is straightforward, so it's really fast to start toggling features and prepare some conditional testing based on audience. Have integration with everything i use in JS land and the live chat is always there for support.

I like the ease-of-use in integrating new feature flags. There are many applications I have been able to use with this so far, and I look forward to expanding our imlpementation of additional features in the future.
