Ask HN: Status of HTML5 Contacts API
Hi, I would like to know the status of HTML5 Contacts API. I remember it's been added to the specification. I couldn't find any status about it and I don't see it listed in caniuse.com. Can anyone update here?
It was part of FirefoxOS and then Google picked it up for Chrome, but the official spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/contacts-manager-api/) never made it past Draft status. The Google spec is here - https://github.com/beverloo/contact-api - looking at the repo it seems people are still considering different approaches regarding things like security.
