Two Ember Apps Become One
summary
Phorest embeds an older Ember app inside a new Ember host via an iframe and coordinates routing with postMessage and event listeners so the host root mirrors the embedded app, using a boot handshake, a single iframe override stylesheet to standardize styles, and Ember Browser Services to swap sessionStorage/localStorage for testable browser APIs. Built auto-login links and an Electron path while noting competitors lost 10% of customers and 65% of users expect desktop+web; the merge works and preserves UX during migration.
