Today we published version 1.4 of Factor JS. In this release we laid the groundwork for "embedded" posts and the functionality that they enable.
What can you do with embedded posts?
Embedded posts are "posts within posts" and it's a great pattern for things like forums, comments, chat, etc. They are needed because, In those cases, it becomes difficult to scale if you create a new post for everything.
