        Almost four years ago @reillyeon pushed the first commit for the webusb spec https://github.com/WICG/webusb/commit/a21c17674e99c2dba23e168a26e4730bc4032f64 … making it possible for websites to talk directly to USB devices. when it launched it had minor fanfare but most people were unclear on the use-cases.https://venturebeat.com/2017/09/05/chrome-61-arrives-with-javascript-modules-and-webusb-support/ …

        Along the same time as @reillyeon pushed the initial version into chrome @sowbug created a new project called weblight https://github.com/sowbug/weblight  As a playground example of what you can do with webusb.pic.twitter.com/nODvar1zCW

        Me being me... decided to utilize Mike's work to show our tip of tree build status via a combination of Mike’s weblight board and some 3D printing foo... This was the first time I dipped my toe into webusb landpic.twitter.com/mbd2f15Ul3

        It was at this point that things got interesting. Android Platform developers always have needed a way to build their code and flash it to their device. This process classically required developers to run a magic sequence of adb commands to update their phone.

        Recognizing the pain my manager in circa 2008~ wrote a wxpython application which ran on a few machines in the office where people could plug in their phone, press a button and "flash" their device without having to run local commands.pic.twitter.com/9MfPomlqhu

        This application had many iterations and eventually could be run even on a developers local machine... but this approach had many problems.. wxpython needed special bits installed on the machine.. and those with chromebooks could not use it at all. :(pic.twitter.com/3qunuVD7Mb

        In 2014~ an intern at google did a project where they utilized the chrome app's USB API to build a basic version of ADB in JavaScript https://developer.chrome.com/apps/usb  This project acted as an initial experimental proof of concept but never quite took off due to ACL limitations.

        This brings us to late 2016~ where work started in earnest to utilize the emerging web USB standard to implement ADB https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb … in JavaScript and then recreating the flashing logic on top of it. In Sep of 2017 we were able to unlock the dream of a web based flow.

        With the push to expose our internal http://ci.android.com  ecosystem to the OSS community and partner ecosystem I am thrilled that a critical part of this (http://flash.android.com ) is now live! * Credential API * Web USB API * PWA (installable) * @____lighthouse 100/100pic.twitter.com/T98Ul5Vrlv
