Seamless cross-site embedding of forms and apps
Dropping a working form or app into someone else's website is a lot more than a one-line iframe. This is a case study of how we stripped down the theme in an open source app builder to just the content, and then put back just enough so the conditional elements, form submissions and other features still worked. We'll look at origin management, session management, SameSite=None cookies, and negotiating scroll position and width with the host page.

Formulize
Julian leads the Formulize open source project, a data management platform that turns messy information and chaotic processes into beautiful databases that blend smoothly with how people actually work. In 1996, Julian got a Bachelor of Journalism and Philosophy, and naturally went on to 30 years in the software industry. In 2003, he co-founded Freeform Solutions, a non-profit web development firm, where the Formulize project began. Somehow, along the way, Julian became a Zend Certified Engineer.
