experiment with a public stable browser API that extensions can use

[ornicar]

IDK yet what it will look like, just trying things out

[Siderite]

I think calling it api is confusing. Maybe something more descriptive like eventHub or something.

[ornicar]

here it would be accessed as window.api.pubsub, leaving room for more than just pubsub under the api package.

But yeah api.eventHub or api.events would work too.

[Siderite]

You added it to site, not window. I get what you want, but API is too generic. Maybe something else.

[schlawg]

if a goal is to steer people away from window.site, window.<whatever> seems better than window.site.<whatever>.

[schlawg]

another option is window.public - the container object for everything (save site.analysis) that siderite is sanctioned to abuse

[schlawg]

window.api is fine too. it's not like an extension should be confused about where api comes from
