We are using Grist as a database for a collection of local historic events and use the vibe widget to display it as a timeline. The result is really quite satisfying. I would love to share it with you, but the content can not be shown publicly yet.
We are planning to integrate this timeline in our website via iframe. One problem with our method seems to be, that a visitor sees more than just the rendered result. He can also see download options and every column via the filter menu.
Basically, “?embed=true” is not restrictive enough.
I´m pretty sure I found a similar topic via google from roughly 2023 a while ago but can´t find it again. Back then, there seemed to be no solution for this. Any developments so far?
Another problem would be, that the embedded vibe widget always offers a way to look at the vibe code. But that is something I can accept, because it is enough “out of the way” for the typical consumer. This project has no elements that are top secret. In contrast, showing the filter menu all the time suggests to the user that there are more options to interact with the timeline, even though it effectively does nothing, since they just have viewer access. I just want to avoid irritation.
