[insert @ofsound magic here]

We can pull in the latest topics and style with discourse's embedded css: https://forum.alonetone.com/admin/customize/themes/1/common/embedded_scss/edit

Supporting both themes might be awkward? Not sure it's going to be possible to get that info through the iframe without some js...

just seems like we’d be fighting every single bit of the iFrame, from fonts, to dynamic media queries, to white/theme dark theme

If we don't go the iframe way, options are:

  1. Parse json client-side every request, ala https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-latest-post-teasers-into-your-website/82388

  2. Parse json server side in rails, create and cache a partial

  3. Setup a ruby cron to create json from the html, stick it in memcached with a key for Rails to read later

Option 1 could be accomplished by issuing an ajax request on a stimulus controller initialize, storing the result in a member variable, moving the footer template to js and rendering the template in connect.
