Hey everyone ✌

just wanted to share this short blog post I recently wrote about sending data from p5 sketches embeded via `<iframe/>` on a host web page. Initially I stumbled upon this, when a student asked me for help while working on some tools for her bachelor thesis about generative design. Learned a lot myself, so I thought I’d be nice to share some learnings:

Just realised, this could probably also be used to communicate between a bunch of different `<iframe/>` sketches on one page, too (share the color palette or random seeds e.g.) 🤔
