Hi Piotr, I hope all is going well. Any ETA on iframe embeds? Thanks a lot.
Piotr Kulpinski
Andrew Eglinton: Hi Andrew,
Video embeds are available now. I'll work on adding the rest of the supported oEmbed services (Twitter, Instagram, etc)
Andrew Eglinton
Piotr Kulpinski: Thank you! This is fantastic. Your latest update really opens the platform up. Awesome work.

I was disappointed to find that I can't embed social media posts like Twitter or Instagram plus very important YouTube videos.

To add to this discussion, there's the oEmbed standard https://oembed.com already in the wilderness, and there's also Wordpress's execution of the same problem https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/embed-block/#supported-services

Hey Piotr - with respect to embeds, I'm fairly sure this isn't going to be on the roadmap - per the security issue you mention above, but for a really elegant and simplified content curation experience, being able to post a link to an external resource, and the associated data with respect to that link (image, description, clickable link, etc) be pulled into the post - has always expedited the process - and makes curating resources a breeze. (e.g. Ghost bookmark cards make this super easy, Revue did this very well (newsletter curation platform bought by Twitter and now shutting down in Jan which should be a great opportunity for Superstash) and WP plugins, editor embeds, etc - have made curating content this way a joy. I'm a code dummy - but wondering if there is any way to emulate this sort of experience within Superstash as an editor/author - as it's so much faster than adding external resource data - manually. (which can be time consuming, relative to the alternative options above) Thanks! PS - in re-reading what I wrote above, will always be
some
manual edits on every post of course, but pulling an external embed into the post simply speeds up the process of adding new content (which can then be titled, feature imaged, assigned to a collection, embellished with custom post data, etc)Darren Lock
The only downside to iframe embeds, is if you intend to track conversions of those embeds, as in iframes most tracking tools cannot work.

Yes, iframe embeds would be great. YouTube in particular for me.
