[FEATURE] Implement File System API when Chrome 86 lands

Open melvincarvalho opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

This looks like an interesting spec for reading and writing to file systems

It could be a more useful way to interact with mind maps on your own file system

Changes coming to chrome 86

https://github.com/WICG/native-file-system/blob/master/changes.md

Demo App - native text editor

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/text-editor/

Right now needs:

chrome://flags/#native-file-system-api

But that flag will go away soon

Sounds interesting!

Unfortunately, I am trying to actively avoid Chrome as much as possible. So until this gets implemented in Firefox, I cannot really add support. Merging a PR is always an option, though.

Makes sense. It is experimental. Can be tracked here

I suppose an electron app could be used with the file system. Though the client_id may need to be separated out.
