1. A method comprising:
- executing an application manager module of a computing device that is configured to manage which display instances of the plurality of applications are made available via a user interface at a particular time; and
exposing one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) by the application manager module that are configured to support switching by the application manager module between a plurality of said display instances for a respective single one of the plurality of applications in the user interface.

Abstract
Display instance management techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an application manager module of a computing device is executed that is configured to manage which display instances of the plurality of applications are made available via a user interface at a particular time. One or more application programming interfaces (APIs) are exposed by the application manager module that are configured to support switching by the application manager module between a plurality of the display instances for a respective single one of the plurality of applications in the user interface.

- 10. A system comprising one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to curate content specified by respective ones of a plurality of applications for display in a plurality of display instances in a user interface such that respective said applications specify the content but are not aware as to how that content is displayed, the content of at least two said display instances specified by a single said application.

16. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to execute an application manager module that is configured to perform operations comprising:
-
exposing one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) that are configured to support switching between a plurality of display instances for a respective ones of a plurality of applications in a user interface; managing lifetimes of the plurality of display instances of the plurality of applications; and curating content specified by respective ones of a plurality of applications for display in the plurality of display instances. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
