I deployed a project to fly, and static files were missing. The project had some files in a root css/ directory, which was in STATICFILES_DIRS. But in the fly-specific settings block, STATICFILES_DIRS is set to static/. It should have static/ appended if it's not already there? It should not write over whatever STATICFILES_DIRS was.
[ ] Reconsider whether I need to define STATICFILES_DIRS at all.
[ ] If I keep it, make sure to append to existing, if there is one. Don't overwrite user's setting.
[ ] Check this on other platforms.
[ ] Consider adding some custom css to the sample test project, to verify this behavior.
[ ] As the project grows, ask for some review of the approach to handling static files. A review of one platform's approach is probably good enough, then carry that approach to other platforms.
