Re: Vibration API: making feature detection possible

Yes, thanks Michael for raising the issue and discussing on the list. If you can help with next steps that would be helpful.

I've moved ISSUE-155  to the 'postponed' category based on this thread, meaning we should consider in any v.next

(Anssi's  ACTION-668 is also closed).

thanks

regards, Frederick

I'm hoping we'll see you around in the future (in this and perhaps some other groups) so you can influence what will be coming next :-)
