## Background

### What is an embeddable widget?

* Usable using a simple `<script>` tag
* Configurable with code
* Themable

### Why not in an iframe?

* Interaction between the frame and the hosting page is tricky and not recommended
* You can only display content within the iframe
* iframe and content resizing is impossible
* iframe sandboxing can result in missing functionalities
