#554: Web Share API review

Visit on Github.

Opened Aug 29, 2020

The WebApps WG would welcome your review of the Web Share API specification. This is a delayed request for review after the FPWD was published in December 2019.

This specification defines an API for sharing text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user's choice.

We hope you can complete your review before the end of October 2020, but if this timetable does not work for you, please let us know.

If you have comments or concerns with the Web Share API specification, please file them as issues on the Web Share API repository, and use the tag-needs-resolution label [3].

Thank you.

Dan: It is a duplicate of #117 however that was a review from when it was in WICG. It's now in WebApps....

Rossen: We could close this as a dup and move on. Or if they are getting close to a transition along Rec status - then we could view it as a transition review.

Dan: 3rd option - we could ask the requestor what is the delta, if any, between this and where it was in in 2017 when we reviewed it in WICG - and therefore is there any benefit we can provide for the delta?

Dan: it's exactly the model we have been promoting - specs that move through incubation in a CG or WICG and then move to a formal working group for standardization. Also it has multiple implementations see caniuse. This is a success story.

Rossen: Added comment.

Dan: marcos said we should do a delta review

Rossen: PR 137 is a breaking change..
