Leading the second talk of our Caktus Lightning Talk Lunch series, Calvin Spealman presented on the Service Page API:
The Service Page API is a prototype and proof of concept to deliver a wide range of browser plugins across multiple browsers and to extend the APIs available to websites a user visits by allowing plugins to extend the Javascript API with new libraries, integrate with external services, and more. It puts the power in the users hand to control which services can interact. This talk covers the problems with the current state of browser extensions and the difficulty in building them across multiple browsers consistently, and how the Service Page API is a solution to this, with code examples.
The slides from this talk are available on talks.caktusgroup.com and the code can be found on GitHub. Follow his project on GitHub to stay up-to-date on its status!
