1. 1. user installs bookmarklet this may be restricted in modern browsers... more research is necessary
      • Pros
        • browser-agnostic
      • Cons
        
        • probably lots of learning involved here
        • user must seek out and install this
        • more complex scenarios may not work in modern browsersinjecting arbitrary JavaScript into pages does not feel very secure, and has since been replaced by modern browser extensions
          
          • see https://hypothes.is/blog/farewell-to-bookmarklets/

   2. user installs browser extension
      • Pros
        • more secure than bookmarklets... I guess?
      • Cons
        • probably lots of learning involved here
        • user must seek out and install this
        • browser-specific (we would need to develop and maintain one for each browser)
   3. developer(s) add a link to repo UI which leads to the existing ToolManager UI landing page, as in the NDSC6 demo
      • Pros
        • user does not need to install anything special on their local machine to launch tools
      • Cons
        • repo UI developers who want to integrate with us need to add one line to their source to integrate with us
          • Dataverse, Clowder, Globus Publish, etc
