Mozilla Labs Launches ‘Web Activities’ Experiment, Lets Web Apps Talk To Each Other

August 1, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Online Conferencing 

Mozilla has only posted an refurbish to its Labs blog , where it shows off a few of the new projects that it’s been working on (which infrequently offer as previews of features that finally obtain oven baked in to Firefox or open web technologies). You’ll must be setup the Firefox Open Web Apps prolongation to use them ” and these are essentially developer-focused for right away ” but they both sound really nifty.

The more interesting of the two features, at least in conditions of the prospective for innovation, is what Mozilla is mission Web Activities (the idea has moreover been referred to as web intents and was originally recognised by Google Chrome developer promoter Paul Kinlan ). It has a basic-sounding but really critical goal: permitting multi-part web applications to ‘speak’ to any other seamlessly.

The utility of the underline is most appropriate described with an example.

Right now, a web-based picture modifying app that wants to give users access to their photos that are already hosted online would have to bake in APIs is to renouned services (Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, etc.). And if a user had a print hosted on a not as big service, they’d may be out of fitness “or have to manually upload them again. Using Web Activities, that wouldn’t be an situation “the web apps would verbalise in a standardised ‘language’ with any other without requiring the developer to confederate an API for any particular service.

It’s a nifty idea, and it’s one that’s already working actually good on a stage you may have sitting in your pocket: Android’s intents network does the same thing, permitting capricious applications to talk with any other. This plan sounds similar to it’s still really early on, but it has the prospective to make web apps sufficient more powerful.

The other new underline showcased on the Labs blog involves web app installation. Over the forthcoming months more web services will may be rising web apps (in the clarity that they’re existing by Mozilla’s arriving app marketplace and the Chrome Web Store), but users may not be wakeful of them. Mozilla’s solution: if you crop to a site that offers a web app, it will manifestation a tiny popup presentation call you to setup it.

Of course, both of these features are still initial and may never be at large rolled out. But my camber is that both of them have legs ” the app breakthrough underline seems flattering without doubt and helpful, and Mozilla is working in tandem with the Google Chrome group to bring the Web Activities plan to fruition.
