Hi Mat > This is incredibly exciting! I've re-listened to hangout #79 where you elaborate on the plugin library and some federation ideas.
I'd be keen to discuss it further in future hangouts. > 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 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. Ah, I hadn't come across MessageChannel. It does indeed seem to address issues that I've been experiencing with the postMessage implementation. Browser support is not bad: http://caniuse.com/#feat=channel-messaging But I think the inconvenience of setting up Firefox support may be a decisive factor against using it at the moment. (Bear in mind that the primary benefit of MessageChannel is simpler development and less code. In our case, we can pay the price for using postMessage in the pair of reusable components that encapsulate it within the TW federation architecture. Best wishes Jeremy.
