So what is happening with Web Intents?

I've been working on Web Intents, a project to simplify client-to-client service discovery and communication on the web using technologies like IFrames and SharedWorkers. It addresses the current issue of apps needing to integrate with third-party services, which restricts user choices. However, I recently discovered a similar project, Web Introducer, also by a Googler. It tackles the same problems with more in-depth security considerations. So, I'll be shifting my focus to contribute to Web Introducer. Web Intents remains a valuable example of using SharedWorkers and messaging effectively within web apps. More on Web Introducer and SharedWorkers coming soon!
