Description

I was hoping to see things that make building powerful Web apps possible. To name a few:

  • File System Access
  • Async Clipboard
  • File Handling
  • Window Controls Overlay

There's quite a gap between browsers if you compare How Fugu Is My Browser? scores.

Another angle worth exploring could be the hardware access APIs:

  • WebUSB
  • Web HID
  • Web Serial
  • Web NFC
  • Web Bluetooth
  • Web MIDI
