Wotcher TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Writable directory prompts for the File System Access API.

Per the Chromium Intent to Ship, it was requested that I file a TAG review as a FYI - hence this request.

  • Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): explainer
  • Specification URL: (same as explainer)
  • Tests: N/A - only affects permission prompts
  • User research: developers are strongly supportive
  • Security and Privacy self-review²: see Chromium launch bug
  • Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
    • Austin Sullivan (@a-sully), Google
  • Organization(s)/project(s) driving the specification: Google
  • Key pieces of existing multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this specification: N/A
  • External status/issue trackers for this specification (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status): Chrome Status, Chromium implementation bug

Further details:

You should also know that...

This is an incremental addition which does not add any new capabilities to an API which is (for now, still) Chromium-only.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
