| 08:33 | <Luke Warlow> | Is there a reason Mozilla's fetch observer API proposal never caught on? Tracking progress within fetch is something that comes up a lot and it seems a nice solution to it. In fact Anne mentioned a very similar idea for this before (not sure if based on that proposal or coincidental) |
| 08:35 | <annevk> | Luke Warlow: I think it's my idea, but it's been a long time. It mainly needs someone to champion it. |
| 08:36 | <freddy> | TIL, the code is still in Firefox but disabled by default. |
| 08:37 | <annevk> | baku is extremely quick, sometimes too quick. 😅 |
| 08:37 | <Luke Warlow> | I don't think it ever dispatches the events in Firefox though (didn't from my test) |
| 08:37 | <Luke Warlow> | What would championing involve? Making a spec PR to fetch that specifies it? Plus maybe a prototype? |
| 08:38 | <annevk> | Yeah, I think in principle it has implementer support, but it's not a priority for anyone. In that case you can often essentially make it happen by writing the specification and the tests. |
