This is incredibly exciting! I've re-listened to hangout #79 where you elaborate on the plugin library and some federation ideas. Out of curiosity, can I ask what makes you choose particularly windows.postMessage()? In trying to read up a bit, I found this nice comparison <http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:U_NiVkP6JlEJ:ruslanbes.com/devblog/tag/postmessage/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=se> and overview of different techniques and they mention MessageChannel as better than windows.postMessage() (note quick summary at bottom of page). MessageChannel can apparently be used in all browsers, except by default in FF but it can be enabled there alos according to caniuse <http://caniuse.com/#search=messagech>. Thank you! I think this will prove revolutionary for TW. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
