Ask HN: Status of HTML5 Contacts API

1 pointsby vasanthvalmost 6 years ago
Hi, I would like to know the status of HTML5 Contacts API. I remember it's been added to the specification. I couldn't find any status about it and I don't see it listed in caniuse.com. Can anyone update here?

<i>I remember it&#x27;s been added to the specification.</i><p>It was part of FirefoxOS and then Google picked it up for Chrome, but the official spec (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;contacts-manager-api&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;contacts-manager-api&#x2F;</a>) never made it past Draft status. The Google spec is here - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beverloo&#x2F;contact-api" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;beverloo&#x2F;contact-api</a> - looking at the repo it seems people are still considering different approaches regarding things like security.
