'''Story''': As a front-end developer, I need a way to tell the native app to open a URL in the viewer.
  FrenchToast.openApplicationView(url)


'''Story''': As a front-end developer, I need the app to tell me when a layer has received focus so that I can refresh data if necessary.

''I don't think we need the name parameter. I don't think we want layers to be able to talk directly to each other. Instead, I believe we can stick to a service-oriented architecture based on URLs.'' -[[Gbrander]]

==== As a front-end developer, I need a way to securely ''verify that the user is authenticated'' so that I do not expose confidential information. ====
 
  // find out if the current session is valid
  FrenchToast.getSession()
 
  // to start browserid
  FrenchToast.startBrowserId(callback)
 
  // to validate the browserid token
  FrenchToast.validateBrowserIdReceipt(receipt, callback)

  window.localStorage
  JSON.stringify
  JSON.parse
 
''Can we confirm that the same localStorage is available between UIWebViews'' - [[Gbrander]]
