Description

What

When embedding a Plausible Dashboard one is given a script tag that sets the height of the iframe automatically. Plausible is emitting an event with the height data that is listened to and applied to the Plausible iframe.

Adding the same to OpenPanel is a great way to improve the quality of life of embeddings.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study Plausible's embed script that uses window.postMessage to communicate iframe height, and implement a similar mechanism in OpenPanel's embed code.
