What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI like the concepts behind iframely better than those behind oEmbed, because you get an iframe URL, which is safer to embed than 3rd party HTML and you can change the size of the iframe on your own (no need for another request to get the embed code of another size). Their endpoint isn't free, but their software is. So you can run your own iframely server, if you want.

I submitted a few patches concerning HTML parsing, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Magnatune.com, OCReMix.org, Firefox Marketplace, Tindeck.com (and a few tiny bugfixes).
