We are dropping the “Embedded View” feature for canvases

Technology, Usability,

We used to have a feature where you could add a URL to a canvas or Whiteboard, and then choose to show that either as a regular bookmark, or as an embedded IFRAME.

We are dropping the embedded IFRAME feature, because most of the time it doesn’t work, and even when it does work, it’s not a great feature to have:

  1. You can only IFRAME a website if that site lets you. And, increasingly, most sites don’t.
  2. IFRAMEing a third-party website on a Kerika page is a potential cause for worry, from a security perspective, because we are letting that third-party website right into the Kerika page.
