Dan: I know there are multiple implementations. But all in Chromium. Different stakeholders are interested. Looking at S&P.. don't think theyre exposing any extra info. I think this is good, but I've been kind of working on it.

Peter: one concern is that the segments array is just a bunch of DOM rects. Comments between Ken and darktears that maybe it should have some embedded... should return objects, so room for expansion. Can leave comment. Other concern in general is that they seem to degrade very quickly into only dealing with one particular hardware situation, eg. screens are all the same size, or only two segments. This one doesn't suffer from that, the segments could be anywhere in space. No information aside from doing math with rectangles to figure out hwo they're oriented. Maybe there's metadata thtat can be added later.

Yves: related to second screen?

Dan: no

Peter: second screen is like casting. This is multiple monitors or foldable screens.

Dan: a few different hareware configurations this makes sense for. Gets very complicated if you start to hink about screens with multiple hinges.

Peter: I'm right now sitting in front of 3 monitors. There are existing groups of things that aren't just a foldable phone. I want it to not be treated as something different from a foldable phone. I think this one API is fine for that.

Dan: design is kind of born out of that concern. Intended to address that concern, to make sure whatever we do here is forward looking. Look again at plenary.

Rossen: both (689 & 690) are being experimented with

Dan: Peter asked a question about object vs DOM rect. No response yet.

Rossen: what would be the lifetime of such object? The beauty of rects is that they're immutable valid for the time being. If I return object now we're talking about bringing in the whole kitchen around the sink with events..

Peter: doens't need an event, doesn't need to be live, could be a snapshot. This isn't a blocker. Just a question. Negotiating API shape, overall happy with the feature.

Dan: Close with that question? Ping requester again?

Peter: worth completing the conversation

Dan: could close on wednesday if we get that feedback

Peter: pending feedback for something minor

Dan: bump it?

Dan: we left feedback on 21st Feb and haven't progressed. As far as I understand it isn't very controversial, it is being used.

Peter: last feedback I left was about API shape. No response.

Dan: should we ping some of the other people on here? does so

Rossen: I pinged them Feb 28th

Dan: happy to "pass" this.

Rossen: I am too.

Thanks folks - on the basis of this feedback we're happy to close this and we're happy to see this work move forward.  Looking forward to a foldable future.
