Aside: This article assumes you know how to set a sphere to be public (in the sharing tab). If you are not familiar with how to make a Thortspace sphere public, please refer to this article:

So back to the question, how to embed a Thortspace viewer into a web page.

You could use a frameset, perhaps something like this:

Here’s a page with a couple of examples: https://www.thortspace.com/main/example/

Where do I get the URLs to use in the src property of the frame and iframe tags?

You can get these URLs:

(1) from the URL line of the browser — ie. the URL for the current sphere, or the current view of the current sphere you are looking at the browser at the moment

(2) use the Copy button when you are viewing a list of public spheres or public journeys in the browser version of thortspace (which is at https://thort.space)
