I’m constantly worried that on the web platform we are creating unintended silos by making it harder to get data in and out of websites and apps, more importantly, I worry that the data only flows one way: from the web to apps, because apps can be in all the places that users expect them to be on their devices.
I was pretty pleased that Chrome started to work on the Share Target API that complements the work on navigator.share. Where navigator.share lets you share information out of your website to any app on the user’s device that can receive ‘shares’ (Intent.ACTION_SEND in Android parlance), the Web Share Target lets your website (or PWA) say ‘I want to play in that game too.’ https://goo.gl/6bniMs #DataIntegration #ML
