New 'Federation' Tech Could Make Your Apps Work Together Better
This could mean fewer logins and more seamless app experiences for you.
The article does not mention “Federation over Harness” or federation for apps and services. It explains that arXivLabs is a framework allowing collaborators to develop and share new arXiv features directly on the website.
Individuals and organizations working with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted arXiv’s values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy, and arXiv says it only works with partners that adhere to those values. The article also asks whether you have an idea for a project that will add value for arXiv’s community and points readers to learn more about arXivLabs.
