| 00:46 | <themihai> | Hi guys! I'm wondering where I could make a proposal for a new "html5" API. The api should allow the developers to provide labels for the "back" (and perhaps forward too) buttons. |
| 00:50 | <themihai> | I think this would improve the user experience on mobile a lot if the UAs implement it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1yy82juk0dldupi/ua.png?dl=0 |
| 00:56 | <caitp-> | that sounds neat! maybe, I didn't really read it i've had a few glasses of wine. but, you should file a bug about it and hope really hard |
| 00:56 | <caitp-> | and who knows, maybe it would catch on |
| 00:56 | <caitp-> | but then you'd have like security concerns and mobile browsers would be like "wat" and like |
| 00:56 | <caitp-> | idk localization issues |
| 00:56 | <caitp-> | i'm not sure if vendors would want it, but you know, you could give it a try |
| 00:57 | <caitp-> | file a bug |
| 00:58 | <themihai> | Where should I file the bug ? |
| 00:58 | <caitp-> | if you go to um |
| 00:58 | <themihai> | On mozilla , ff, ch or somewhere on wg ? |
| 00:59 | <caitp-> | https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ |
| 00:59 | <caitp-> | there should be a bar on the bottom with a thing for filing a new bug |
| 00:59 | <caitp-> | or something like taht |
| 00:59 | <themihai> | Found it! Thanks! |
| 01:59 | <deltab> | themihai: you could try it in action with a browser extension; it could use heuristics to work out a suitable label from the page title or other metadata |
| 10:46 | <beverloo_> | MikeSmith, thanks for the detailed mail! :) |
| 10:53 | <MikeSmith> | beverloo_: cheers |
| 10:53 | <MikeSmith> | sorry for not having been more communicative about it earlier |
| 10:54 | <MikeSmith> | but the last couple weeks I've actually been spending most of my time with annevk instead of working :-) |
| 10:55 | <beverloo_> | Don't worry, I appreciate the time you took. I'll craft a reply later today. |
