The use case is to show a "please wait, loading..." message until all resources of an index page (js, css, html, images, fonts) are downloaded. When the message dismisses, the index page is ready for a non-blocking UI navigation since js was already loaded. We plan to implement it in our own user agent, and I was wondering if I should go the Apple meta way or use the w3c widgets spec and use a webapp descriptor. I know the widgets spec has been implemented by some (Opera, Phonegap to describe an hybrid application), I was wondering if work was still going on on the splash proposal. laurent On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 9:15 PM, Ian Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> wrote: > On Wed, 31 Jul 2013, Laurent Perez wrote: > > > > Is there work going on on a Splash screen specification ? > > What's the use case? > > Generally speaking, Web pages load incrementally, so by the time you've > downloaded an image, you should be able to just show the Web page itself, > at least in a state good enough for the user.
