Bummed that we lost the ability to embed Google Docs. The ability to easily iframe a Google Doc was a nice way to get shared notes in front of people’s eyes who are less likely to click through to a separate document. I wish there was a way to get the original embedded behavior (e.g., put “embed:” in front of the URL). Oh well. :sadpanda:
