From what I can tell, part of the failures were from technical challenges, part of it was for lack of overall momentum. I'll note two recent developments that are in the same spirit as Web Intents and Web activities: * Daniel Buchner making a call to revive work in this space, with a specific proposal https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2015OctDec/0070.html http://www.backalleycoder.com/2015/10/13/app-to-app-interaction-apis/ * the interaction proposed by WebRTC to interface with identity providers: http://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/webrtc.html#identity-provider-interaction Dom
