Adaptive / auto-resizing embed height (+ hide the embed frame)

Ideas & Features

Hi Fibery team :slightly_smiling_face:

We’ve started using embeds for custom interfaces built on top of Fibery data, and maybe this use case feels increasingly important now when it’s easier than ever to quickly vibe-code a custom interface or visualization.

However, we ran into two limitations with the current embed block:

  1. Fixed height — the embed does not automatically resize to match the content height (we have problems beacuse our teammates have PC with huge monitors and macbooks :slightly_smiling_face: )

  2. No frame-less mode — the embed always appears inside a visible container/frame, which makes it feel less native inside Fibery

For custom views, this makes the experience less seamless than it could be.

Suggestions:

  • Support adaptive / auto-resizing embed height

  • Add an option to hide the embed frame / chrome, so the embedded content can feel more like a native part of the page

This would make embeds much more powerful for teams that use Fibery as a data layer while embedding custom UI components back into their workspace.

P.S. We used embed on a dashboard.

I’m not sure I fully understand—could you clarify? Do you mean running custom code inside the Fibery app without a sandbox(iframe)?

Thanks for the question :grinning_face: — I meant the visual frame/container around the embed, not removing the iframe sandbox itself.

For example, in the screenshot below you can see the visible container/frame around the embedded content.

In our case we created a custom view powered by Fibery data and embedded it back into Fibery via an embed block. However, because of the frame and fixed size, it visually looks a bit like “a page inside another page.”

If there was an option for a frame-less embed mode, the embedded content could feel much more native — simply filling the available area for the user.

It would be even better if the embed could also support:

• Auto-resizing height based on the content
• Better width adaptation to the user’s screen

This becomes especially important when embeds are used by people on different screen sizes (laptops vs large desktop monitors).

So the most important part is actually adaptive resizing, while hiding the visual frame would mostly improve the visual integration :grinning_face: .

See parts of this topic for an interesting discussion which overlaps with this (allowing users to vibe code their own views directly within Fibery)
