@Paul_Kinlan you're not still bangin' on about it are ya *Runs and Hides* – Matt Gaunt on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@BrendanEich @jaffathecake @sickingj @fabricedesre I managed to catch up briefly with Jonas at last years IO and we chatted ever so breifly – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Pearl Chen
@Paul_Kinlan Great post-mortem. I thought about Web Intents last month (can't remember the context) and did wonder what happened to it... – Pearl Chen on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@gauntface it's like a dagger through my heart. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Matt Gaunt
@Paul_Kinlan *Cuddles* – Matt Gaunt on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@PearlChen yeah, it has come up quite a lot recently..... – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@PearlChen @ade_oshineye loves to tell everyone about it when I meet them :) – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@ben_a_adams login via open ID would have worked perfectly (I had some demos) – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Pearl Chen
@Paul_Kinlan I think I was thinking of Web Intents when I was wishing "web apps" could be written in something other than JS. – Pearl Chen on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@PearlChen I hope so :) – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Ben Adams
@Paul_Kinlan but you often do now: Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Telco, various others... – Ben Adams on twitter
Ben Adams
@Paul_Kinlan I'd agree, but now people are starting to use email as id they are limiting openid providers to ones which verify email – Ben Adams on twitter
Pearl Chen
@Paul_Kinlan Well, all good ideas are old ideas with a twist so I'm sure this won't be the last I hear of it. – Pearl Chen on twitter
Dan Brickley
@Paul_Kinlan thanks for writing that up re web intents, super useful... – Dan Brickley on twitter
Thomas Steiner
@Paul_Kinlan One of the most honest and most useful postmortems I have read so far. Huge props for writing it! – Thomas Steiner on twitter
Dave Methvin
@Paul_Kinlan Now I feel guilty for not doing something like this more often. Thank you for lessons learned. – Dave Methvin on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@ben_a_adams on payments... I thought about this a lot and it never felt right for the user to be able to choose provider. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@tomayac thanks. much appreciated. It's been 'done' for a while, i just had chance to finish it today :) hope it helps/ – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Ben Adams
@Paul_Kinlan authenticate/login; pay always seemed intent things, never squared the circle on the how as it would need some preapproval? – Ben Adams on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@davemethvin not a problem, thanks for reading. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Ben Adams
@Paul_Kinlan main issue is each one needs a different integration to be done before it can be offered as a choice (preapproval of choices) – Ben Adams on twitter
Dan Brickley
@Paul_Kinlan I'm sure it will be – Dan Brickley on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@glennjones @richtibbett oh yeah, I was surprised too, but we had also burnt a lot of cycles on it and didn't get amazingly far – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Glenn Jones
@paul_kinlan nice write up and lots learned, so in summary @richtibbett quote on the home page of http://designpush.org/webintents/  : ) – Glenn Jones on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@glennjones @richtibbett also, I dont think the Android intent ecosystem is as used as people think it is. Most inter apps is just SEND – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Adewale Oshineye
@Paul_Kinlan @PearlChen I do. – Adewale Oshineye on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@glennjones @richtibbett the rest is functionality of the system. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Rich T
@glennjones Called it how I saw it back then. Was still surprised when it didn't just ship, warts and all, though. @Paul_Kinlan – Rich T on twitter
Rich T
@glennjones @Paul_Kinlan FWIW here's my post-morterm the (mostly UX) concerns listed http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2014Jun/0102.html…. All APIs are *hard*. – Rich T on twitter
Glenn Jones
@richtibbett I was also surprised did not ship. I still think some of use cases are valid,  reading @Paul_Kinlan postmortem call was right – Glenn Jones on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@richtibbett @glennjones huh, I think I missed that mail. Obv happy to help. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Brian Blakely
@Paul_Kinlan Thanks for this. Now even iOS has Extensions, so I hope the Web's pen-holders stop hiding behind the aegis of "well, URLs." – Brian Blakely on twitter
Razvan Caliman
Yes! Start with convincing use cases. It bit us with CSS features too. “@Paul_Kinlan: What happened to Web Intents? http://paul.kinlan.me/what-happened-to-web-intents/…" – Razvan Caliman on twitter
Glenn Jones
@richtibbett @Paul_Kinlan browser API designs is very hard to get right, look at AppCache – Glenn Jones on twitter
Ido Green
What happened to Web Intents? http://paul.kinlan.me/what-happened-to-web-intents/… - It could be better for the web platform to have it. Thx @Paul_Kinlan for the efforts. – Ido Green on twitter

Joe Simpson
@paul_kinlan use case i can think of immediately is picking a cloud provider or authorisation provider (aka OpenID) – Joe Simpson on twitter
Paul Kinlan
@danbri hope it is helpful for more projects. – Paul Kinlan on twitter
Using text diff on 'npm ls' to work out module issues with node project. Dependency management problems get less, but never go away

@mikep_cri yes, you see automatic upgrades of modules, but its hard to spot the where the semantic versioning has gone wrong - #geek : ) – Glenn Jones on twitter
