Best apps to iframe in Obsidian

I started to use CryptPad for collaboration on texts. It supports pure markdown, but the best is that i can write in there from inside Obsidian.

Wow, this is nice! Are they working good?

I’ll be trying OmniFocus for the web tomorrow!

Does it work for you?

ProWritingAid works wonderfully in an iFrame. Adjust the height and width to your satisfaction. Here’s how I instantiate:

<iframe
	border=0
	frameborder=0
	height=800
	width=800 
	src="https://prowritingaid.com/en/Analysis/Documents/Go">
</iframe>

OmniFocus for the web does work in an iframe, although you have to close the left bar for some space. Handy to be able to link to the inbox.

A large number of brownie points to anyone can shed some light on this as it would allow me to embed the Kindle Cloud reader in Obsidian.

I can get Kindle Cloud Reader to show up in iFrame in Obsidian using the standard iFrame code. (Note that you must log in.)

<iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://read.amazon.com/"></iframe>

However, there is a Library button that shows up in the browser, Chrome, for example, that does not show up in Obsidian. See screen clips below. Once you get into a book you cannot go back to the Library without this button.

In Chrome:

In Obsidian:

Obsidian 0.12.3
Windows 10 Pro 20H2, OS build 19042.985
Surface Pro 5

Addendum: By exposing the Inspector, I was able to to clear the session and cache re-login to Cloud Reader, getting back to the Library. Can one invoke clearing the session and cache from a Button, perhaps? This would still be cumbersome, of course, but better then opening the inspector each time.

I find that OF for web steals focus from the rest of the app all the time so I can’t use it. Did you find that as well?

I stopped because the load time was too slow on opening the document.

I’m successfully interacting with my private Trello content in Obsidian, thanks to @Floran!

His plugin: Convert URL to preview (iframe) has a pop-up that allows me to navigate through the ‘Log in’ process, after which the content previews correctly.

Below is what I’m using for the embed code, but as a noob, I’d be happy for any improvements/suggestions.


Board view

<iframe src="{yoursharelink}" frameBorder="5" width="700" height="700">></iframe>

Single card view

<iframe src="{yoursharelink}" frameBorder="5" width="400" height="420"></iframe>

Search results view§

<iframe src="https://trello.com/search?q=board%3A%22{yourboardname-url-escaped-noquotemarks}{searchterm-noquotemarks}" frameBorder="5" width="420" height="800"></iframe>

For folks interested in music, I just found http://xenpaper.com, an in-browser ‘text-based microtonal sequencer’. It’s fun to just type in pitches as numbers (or ratios or Hz) – a bit of a time sink. I think each thing gets saved in the url. This is something I was playing around with for example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://xenpaper.com/#embed:(bpm%3A30)%0A(osc%3Asine)%0A(env%3A9959)%0A%0A%7Br170Hz%7D%0A%0A%5B0%2C_7%2C_14%2C_16%2C_24%5D---28%0A%5B4%2C_12%2C_14%2C_19%2C_23%5D--%0A%5B5%2C_8%2C_12%2C_14%2C_19%5D----.24%0A%5B2%2C_14%2C_16%2C_17%2C_21%2C_26%5D---%0A%5B%605%2C_8%2C_14%2C_16%2C_17%2C_28%5D--%0A%5B5%2C_9%2C_12%2C_16%2C_28%5D-%0A%5B7%2C_10%2C_12%2C_14%2C_26%5D-24%0A%5B%6010%2C_12%2C_14%2C_17%2C_24%5D--.%0A%5B%607%2C_14%2C_17%2C_21%2C_24%5D---.26%0A" title="Xenpaper" frameborder="0"></iframe>

How do you do this? No iframe allows me to open my CryptPad files from Obsidian, I have an embedded popup that says something like ‘cannot open pop-up windows’. The only thing it allows me to do is create folders. Would you share the iframe you are using? CryptPad is really awesome

I created this thread for all those who want to go into detail about iframe in Obsidian for cloud-hosted docs, and collaborative team work in markdown. I hope you like it!

Not doing anything fancy, its a public available cryptpad (not tied to my account) → we mainly use it to communicate, draft ideas etc.
Honestly, i didnt used cryptpads that much before, and this worked straight out of the box - so i am not sure where i did something “right” =)
