Awesome work! Always nice to see new widgets be created 😄
Why Iframely over Embedly?
-
The "official" embedded card solution for NodeBB appears to be Iframely.
My question is why was this chosen over Embedly?
I'm asking because after 1, yes 1 day of use, I'm at 13k hits on the API. So my monthly is looking in the ballpark of 400k API hits, which is $291/month.
It looks like Embedly has both a Javascript SDk solution $9/month and an API solution, like Iframely, for about the same price as Iframely.
Anyway, I was just wondering if I'm missing something about Iframely.
-
Maybe because there is an open source version of their service that you can run for "free"? That might work.
-
Yes, you can self-host iframely.
-
Also there is nothing preventing someone to build a embedly plugin
-
@baris Yeah, I know.
-
@PitaJ Does the plugin work with the self hosted version?
-
@djensen47 as far as I know, yes. If it doesn't, we'll fix it. Just open an issue and let us know.
