> Discourse has the ability to embed the comments from a topic in a remote site using a Javascript API that creates an IFRAME. For an example of this in action, check out [Coding Horror’s blog](http://blog.codinghorror.com/welcome-to-the-internet-of-compromised-things/#discourse-comments).

Ended up using a [custom Theme Component](https://github.com/somos-criptonautas/discourse-full-embedded-posts-nautas) and chose to display the pages without any extra button to press.
