Hi, i just want to give feedback why i also would need a "full brightness/wake lock" feature. First, i think this should be 2 different APIs I have a native app that saves barcodes/qrcodes that then will be scanned from display by shops and different scanners. Most of the time, when this is not working, the screen brightness is the problem. Many scanners just need more brightness to be able to scan from display. Probably this will be more of a problem in the future because more and more services provide scanable codes. I converted my native app into PWA and that's one thing that is currently simply not possible with web technology. I have to display the information that the user must manually turn up the brightness in the phone settings. That's not handy. In general with PWA's, we hear in every corner that this can and probably should replace simple native apps. I think with this idea in mind, such an "easy" API should be implemented. In comparison: We get a massive new file api with native file access, which is definetely much more risky than screen brightness or wake locks. Just my feedback.
