It would be awesome to use Codi similarly to how you the current [Jitsi component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/jitsi-video-conference-component/146046) works, which is both easy to install and setup for a specific jitsi server.

Something like this, generating `<iframe>` code that Discourse will accept now that you’ve allowed it in the site settings:

Thank you @riking, but I guess I know the HTML part: that’s going from the URL to the HTML in JavaScript that I’m not sure how to deal with. I’ve been looking at some plugins, it may work, but a canonical example would be useful, or a pointer to something that does it correctly using Discourse best practice.

We should start a dedicated, linked topic for embed-codimd! Cool to see it emerge like a phoenix.

I rewrote it, but I am still testing it, probably ready to release it in 4-8 weeks

I know that I am horribly impatient, but it has been 5 weeks… Any joy?

You can install it if you wish it lives at: [GitHub - discourse/discourse-shared-edits: Shared edits for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-shared-edits)

But it still is a few more weeks before I post about this on meta.
