https://developer.chrome.com/apps/hid was a great feature of Chrome apps.

The idea is that for the native features such as USB/HID, one would use Node.JS modules until the gap is closed in the web platform. Would that work for you?

That makes sense. Unfortunately we're experimenting quite a few issues with node-hid implementation at Ledger, typically the fact you don't get a reliable "disconnect" event (among various other connectivity issues), but I guess it's the problem of the HID paradigm itself anyway.

Very eager to have WebUSB shipped and stabilized everywhere. Still a Draft spec at this point but 🤞
