Anyone else doing this? (HTML embed function for interactive tools)

I have been blown away by how good ghost is at handling dynamic responsive iframe html. You can create content with interactive ‘tools’ embedded inline! Check it out what I was able to do with it here: 5 Ways to Optimize Your Content Strategy for AI SEO.

I have made a handful of these lightweight (mainly javascript) tools that are embedded directly into posts. So far I have created content analysis tools, simple calculators, and a few more drag and drop type elements.

Really curious if anyone else is building tools like this to make content a little more engaging? I think there is so much potential for stuff like this to help time-on-page and reader engagement. I will link a couple of the tools I have made below if anyone is curious! They are really simple little tools, but can still be helpful to readers and they embed very nicely directly into posts:

I almost hit delete, because we’re currently sort of awash in AI link spam. But I see you’re on Ghost, so cool. If this isn’t just a page-rank building strategy*, it’d be pretty awesome if you’d share with the forum a little bit more about what interactive tools you’ve embedded. I’m sure other folks would love to know more about what you’re using! So please, tell us more!

*Which would be silly, because the link is nofollow noopener, but yet, it happens every day. :woman_shrugging:

Thanks for keeping this up! Not a link building strategy, just stumbled on this functionality and was wondering what other people might be building and what ideas the community had. I updated my original post to include some more details and a few of the tools I built :slightly_smiling_face:
