Is it possible to embed a web application within Salesforce Lightning? - salesforce

Is it possible to embed a web application using a platform like Dash inside Salesforce Experience Cloud Lightning? It seems like this should be pretty trivial using an iframe, but I can't find any documentation about this beyond https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000GdYxrUAF/support-embedding-lightning-community-pages-in-iframes-from-csp-trusted-sites which suggests that it isn't supported. Are there anyways around this?

Image Processing on Google App Engine

I want to create a mobile backend with Google App Engine on Google cloud problem.
I want to develop a Java Servlet that accepts image file and performs some image processing effects (tint,blur, ..) on it.
I'm wondering if there are any libraries that can be used for such a scenario.
Can I use something like OpenCV for example, or I will have to implement the effects functionality from scratch?
Actually, App Engine has a built-in Images API for Java that supports a bunch of different transformations. It may not support everything you're looking for, but it's a low-effort starting point.

GAS UI Builder for GAE

to all
as we all know, Appscript tipicaly for Google Spreadsheet now have a UI builder, though you can compose UI with the script itself the builder is a big factor. now
GAS application is hosted in google drive and can be either share or publish as Webapp. which is great but this type of app is very limited to storing your data in a spreadsheet well, designing a good DB spreadsheet would be enough for small application but is NOT scalable for SME to Enterprise apps.
now having google app engine which have a very good and scalable platform for a webapp.
is there anyway to port the UI library capability and use it for app engine application. having GAS UI as a javascript base (client side) it could be integrated with any serverside language in GAE.
do any one have any example on this or is it now posible?
the way I see it this might be the future for GAE having a GAS as a client side library would be great?
Well, I think you should be looking the other way round. All of Apps Script's UI widgets are borrowed from GWT in GAE. In fact, the Apps Script documentation, at places suggests that we should lookup GWT documentation when this is found inadequate.
Coming to the point of the UI bilder, I'm no GAE expert, but since you get a GWT toolkit for Eclipse, you should be able to use any of Eclipse's UI creating tools ( I may be wrong here).
GWT is compiled to javascript. It doesn't care what the backend is. You can use json to communicate to your python AE instance just fine I would think. I do GWT on java AE so don't have an example of my own but here is an example of using python on AE to use App Scripts https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/appengine

Reading Google App Engine's datastore to a native app

Does anyone know if it is possible to read from a Datastore on the app engine to a native app?
I am working my way through making a simple notes app that I can store online and use on my phone and tablet. I would prefer the phone interface be more than just a WebView instance or only used from the browser. I would also like a tablet optimized version as well.
I am comfortable programming android, and I am comfortable with web apps as well, so this is the last important piece before I can start putting it all together.
Has anyone done this before? Or, if it isn't possible, can someone send a link so I can further explore and find out what?
Thanks!
You can interface directly with the datastore using remote_api, but this is designed as an administrative interface, and shouldn't be used for access by end-users. The standard approach for what you're doing - on any webapp, regardless of platform - is to define an API that your application exposes for access to the data, and consume that API from your native app. If you're using Python, you may want to check out ProtoRPC (now included in the SDK) as an easy way to define APIs.

Chrome extension interacting with Google app Engine in Java

I am trying to create a chrome extension which will interact with some of the google products like calender, maps etc using their respective APIs.
Presently I am trying to create a Java backend which will be run on google app engine.
My chrome extension will send request to java classes in Google app engine and excnage data streams.
Is it a good idea to go ahead with this approach ? or could you please suggest me some other model.
Thanks,
Mayank
Sounds good to me. If those APIs don't provide javascript (or REST) access then there is no other way than to write a proxy in one of the supported languages.
Yes, this is a perfectly reasonable approach. Did you have specific questions about how to accomplish it?

How to build a Silverlight Facebook client?

As my final project I wanted to do client for Facebook and Twitter using the APIs available. But there is not much tutorial or guidance available for me to start this project. And the other idea was to build a Game in Silverlight, which have more tutorials and info on it.
I would prefer to do social media client, but if enough help is there.
Have you looked at the Facebook Developer Toolkit?
http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/
If you want to access Facebook APIs from within Silverlight, it's where you should start.
This project leverages the Facebook Toolkit above:
http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/facebookclient/sfcquickinstall.aspx
So far as I know, the source for it hasn't been released. You could presumably do something similar, but open-source it.
