Currently we’re able to [embed Discourse comments](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963) into pages, which allows us to link our community activity per-post. But what happens when we want more embedding power?

# Proposal

Create an **activity widget** to display on sites. This would allow for feedback loops where Discourse activity on the forums could be surfaced on non-Discourse sites, and allow for tighter integration between main sites and forum features.

This widget would allow us to expose Discourse activity in a div in a separate site.

The widget would auto-update as new activity is posted. Something to this effect:

## Under the hood

The widget would rely on message bus subscriptions for automatic updates as new content is posted in the forum.
