On the docs side of things, yes we should probably look into this when we get the chance. This is one that I’ve missed.
I’ve added a card to our docs schedule so that at least it is now on our radar. So is this basically just the B2G version of the upcoming service worker syncmanager/periodicsynmanager stuff? We have minimal docs written on those: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SyncManager https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PeriodicSyncManager Will the SW stuff replace the proprietary B2G stuff eventually?
