Feature flagging for rails projects

Hello hackers,

While working on a Rails side project, my friend and I realized that we didn't have a feature flagging system in place so we decided to build one!

We created an open source rails gem https://github.com/LightningFF/lightning to make it super easy to set up an end-to-end feature flagging system in <1 min. We wanted to have an on-premise solution and this has helped us push out code quicker by hiding it behind a feature flag.

We figured others would be interested in trying it out for their existing/new rails projects (>5.0) instead of spending hours and days to build it themselves.

If you do give it a try, we would really appreciate any feedback and thoughts.

Happy to answer questions about the process for building the gem.
