Note that I didn’t say that portals came from AMP; I said they would help the AMP use case.
But I think I must be misunderstanding portals because it sounds to me like it would work great for the AMP top stories carousel.
You’re right. I don’t have any in-depth knowledge here. I was trying to describe a proposal being incubated. I used an example. It was a bad example, I guess. From now on I’ll just describe portals as “spicy iframes” and leave it at that. adactio.com/notes/17556
Yeah …spicy! adactio.com/notes/17558
fwiw, in spec terms I’d like portals and iframes to inherit from something common, rather than one from the other. In the same way audio and video share a common base.
