Embed These Websites In Your Blog Today

Source: Dev.to

I stumbled onto the DEV supported URL embeds list, which revealed some interesting supported platforms.

You’ll want to refer to the link above to figure out the syntax for the DEV‑specific ones, but most are just:

{% embed  %}

Quick navigation

• asciinema
• StackBlitz
• GitHub
• X/Twitter
• YouTube
• DEV specific

Asciinema

asciinema – a video‑like player that lets you pause and copy the text from a terminal recording.

StackBlitz

StackBlitz – an interactive code editor that runs right inside a blog post. Note that the embedded terminal and preview may need extra handling for postMessage communication.

GitHub

GitHub – renders the repository’s README, providing a brief context and a CTA to open the repo.

X/Twitter

X/Twitter – useful when you want to reference a tweet with its full context.

YouTube

YouTube – embed videos directly. You can also use the “Cover Video Link” feature to make the video act as a banner image.

DEV specific

DEV supports a few custom embed types beyond third‑party sites.

Article link

{% embed https://dev.to/your-article-slug %}

User profile

{% embed https://dev.to/username %}

Tag profile

{% embed https://dev.to/t/tagname %}

Organization profile

{% embed https://dev.to/organization/slug %}

Buttons (CTA)

You can add custom buttons that link to external resources, for example:

View @AWSDevelopers on X/Twitter 💻
Visit AWS Builder Center
