I don't care about Promises as much as I'd like to see Push Notification concretely implemented cross browser for real Web Apps That spec could use a prollyfill. http://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/ Anyone want to have a go at making one?

See: http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/ https://github.com/sysapps/ Also, a little bit silly… but I've made a prollyfill for the SysApps Telephony API (Chrome only, as it uses Web Audio API - currently broken): https://github.com/marcoscaceres/teleprolly (and yeah, I made a real phone call with it holding my headset up to my portable telephone :) ) And I've prollyfilled the Web MIDI API using a plugin: https://github.com/marcoscaceres/adlib.js The point is: you are correct that the Web doesn't provide you with the low level stuff out of the box… until we get more primitives, you have to think outside the box to get the functionality you need to show how it could work. But not having what you need right now is not a deterrent - it's a challenge :) It's part of what motivates this group. The SysApps WG will also help a lot with paving the way, even if those APIs don't end up exposed to the Web right away. -- Marcos Caceres
