Cross-site distribution

Embeds Guide

Embeds extend a vibe beyond vibecodr.space while preserving sandbox boundaries, canonical identity, live-vs-exact artifact behavior, and performance expectations.

Distribution playbook for secure and stable cross-site vibe embeds.

Implementation focus

Use this before enabling external distribution so embed behavior matches trust and publication policy.

Expected outcomes

Embeds (Pinned and Live)

Embeds let you place a vibe on another site using a sandboxed iframe. Vibecodr provides the embed code so the runnable surface stays isolated from Vibecodr cookies, local storage, owner tools, and private source.

If a vibe also has a claimed vanity URL and you explicitly allow public or allowlisted embeds, that vanity page can be framed directly. Allowing an embed changes where the vibe may appear; it does not make the third-party host a trusted platform surface.

Pinned

Default

Choose an exact embed when the host page needs a fixed published cut. The embed does not move forward unless you copy a new exact embed.

Live

Optional

Choose a live embed when the host page should keep following the vibe's newest published version after BUMP IT updates.

Get an embed code

  1. Open a vibe in the player.
  2. Choose Embed, then select Pinned or Live.
  3. Copy the snippet Vibecodr gives you, including its sandbox and allow settings.

What the snippet should include

A good embed snippet includes a descriptive title, stable dimensions, lazy loading, and the sandbox and allow settings Vibecodr provides for embeds. Some compatibility snippets include device, payment, or clipboard permission tokens so a vibe that asks for those features is not blocked at the iframe boundary before Vibecodr can show its own prompt. Those tokens do not silently approve access: the runtime still asks the viewer through Vibecodr's capability prompt, and the browser may still show its own permission prompt.

Embed allowlist

External embeds are off by default. Enable them in Settings > Embed Settings, Pulses > Embedding or the Studio Config panel. The allowlist controls which external sites can host the outer wrapper on embed.vxbe.space. If the vibe has a claimed vanity URL, the same setting also controls which external sites may frame that vanity page directly. This changes supported embed ancestry, not source visibility, owner controls, or who can read private project material.

Structured embed metadata

Some CMS and publishing tools can discover structured embed metadata from a Vibecodr share URL. Use the host product's add-by-URL flow when it supports that pattern, and prefer Vibecodr's copied embed code when the host asks for raw HTML.

If a host cannot discover the embed automatically, copy the embed snippet from Vibecodr instead of hand-building request URLs.

Caching and Delivery

Vibecodr keeps the fast stuff on direct public hosts and keeps the sensitive stuff on the policy-aware lane. That means public experiences feel snappy without turning previews, private work, or gated artifact delivery into generic CDN objects.

Embed identity

Embeds let a vibe travel outside Vibecodr while preserving its app identity, sandbox policy, and release behavior. The embed should still connect back to the canonical public app instead of becoming an orphaned copy.

Live embeds can follow the current Drop, while exact embeds can pin a specific artifact. The right choice depends on whether the host wants the newest version or an immutable reference.

  • Use live behavior when the host expects updates to flow through.
  • Use exact artifact behavior when documentation, tutorials, or audits need reproducibility.
  • Preserve sandbox and frame boundaries even when the embed is distributed widely.

Safety expectations

Embedded code is still user-authored runtime content, so it must stay isolated. Embed delivery should not weaken CSP, frame, CORS, CORP, or sandbox assumptions to accommodate a third-party host.

External distribution should increase reach without increasing trust.

  • Keep runtime execution inside the intended frame boundary.
  • Do not expose owner-only source or backend metadata through embed markup.
  • Keep canonical links and attribution visible enough for viewers and crawlers.

Example and read next

Example: a customer wants to place a vibe in a docs site. Use a live embed when updates should follow the current Drop, and use an exact artifact reference when the docs need reproducible behavior.
