Hi All, As part of the ServiceWorker initiative [1], Google is proposing a `navigator.connect` API [2] to allow cross-origin ServiceWorker communication. This post is mostly a notice to inform everyone of this unofficial draft API. This seems similar to our Inter-App communication API [3] and I'm sure the authors and users of that API have feedback that should be incorporated in a cross-web (non-b2g-specific) API. There also seems to be overlap with some use-cases for Web Activities [4]. This is a good opportunity for us to influence how cross-origin messaging is implemented at an early stage. If someone wants to drive this from Mozilla's side, please "raise your hand".
