Kickplan is an [OpenFeature.org-compliant](https://www.openfeature.org) feature flagging system that transparently supports feature entitlements/authorization based on the plan and overrides for the given account. 

Unlike many other feature-flagging systems, Kickplan Features are designed to function as long-running flags, deeply integrated into your product so they can serve as entitlements when attached to a Plan. Of course, you can also use Features as short-lived flags for rolling out new functionality, the choice is up to you. 

Once you've created a feature and configured it as part of a Plan or as an Account override, you'll typically access it inside your application by simply resolving the feature within the context of the current user's account.

Here's a short walkthrough on creating a Kickplan Feature.
