I think the question is very valid and simple…

What is the intention with the PostMessage functionality, why is it there and what can we do with it?

I also miss other functionalities that are often present for webviews. Like can you notify me when the URL is changed? or even let me know what the URL is?

I know there is a getURL function, but it simply returns the URL I initially provided. If user navigate to another url, the same URL is returned from my webview, that is not nice.

Do not get me wrong, it is nice to have a webview, but we need more and we need examples 🙂

Just my 5 cents…
