Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Note Taking: New Note URL field (#648)

Sorry, the PR for the explainer was merged into manifest-incubations. You found the correct one.

Yes, as @tomayac summarized, the user benefit is tighter (any, really) OS or UA integrations with the note-taking web app. With the current fields the UA can know "this is a note-taking app" and "this is the URL tocreate a new note in the note taking app". What they do with those fields is up to the UA, but possible examples are given at the top of the explainer: the note-taking app could be launched from keyboard shortcuts, OS buttons/tray, customisable keyboard keys, voice assistants. These launcher surfaces exist already, they just do not currently support web apps.

As a concrete example, on Chrome OS note-taking web apps will be shown in the OS stylus tools settings alongside other note-taking apps, can be selected there as the main note-taking app, and then a new note can be created from the stylus tools palette (which launches the new_note_url).

I'll update the explainer with a little more about the user needs / benefit.
