With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.
Idea: embedded discussions on third-party websites.
Option 2: an embed code is shown on your profile, with a page-url attribute you fill in. That’s the page where you place the code. The first time someone posts a comment, the associated discussion is created. Instead of a title, the discussion gets assigned the URL. That way, people seeing the discussion on V can open the URL for context.
Extend the existing Discussion model to have a nullable embed_url. An embedded discussion would not have a title.
Option 1: when you create a discussion, an embed code is shown, which you can paste anywhere.
That would mean people couldn’t programmatically use embed codes, like on their blogs. They would always have to manually go into V and create a discussion first.
Create an EmbeddedDiscussion model, separate from Discussion.
That would prevent existing discussions from being embedded on other sites. But why prevent that?
To keep things simple. This is just an MVP.
But having a separate model isn’t exactly keeping things simple either.
