When I saw the thread title, I thought you had made a marketing deal with a car dealer named Desmos!

This is great!
This was something I had hoped for

Is there a way to make a link (maybe as an icon) to the original desmos-URL?
(It would be tedious to reconstruct the URL by, say, quoting it then reading the contents of the media tag.
(I personally like to keep a reference to the original so that when I make modifications to it, I like to leave a reference to the original author, post, and desmos-url. With Desmos, saving or sharing generates a new URL. )

By comparison, with the YouTube embeds, one can click on the YouTube logo to get the YouTube page.

That produces a new URL, e.g.,

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/p8latwndfc

but the original-URL is (reconstructed, as I described above, from quoting the original post and reading the tag)

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/g7izucn6nn

Try it yourself below (or you may already have if that is a screencapture from this thread).... the original is g7izucn6nn

Why do I want the original-URL?

So it does: this is how Desmos works.

but the original-URL is (reconstructed, as I described above, from quoting the original post and reading the tag)

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/g7izucn6nn

In what sense do you think that that URL is 'original': as you pointed out

With Desmos, saving or sharing generates a new URL.

...so g7izucn6nn is not the 'original' URL either.

It is the original URL from Greg's post

[MEDIA=1432]g7izucn6nn[/MEDIA]

So, if I am trying to cite my reference to Greg's post and Greg's Desmos file... this is the best I can do.

In addition to the Desmos "calculator" URLs,
can Desmos "3d" URLs also be embedded?

Since I'm asking, I might as well ask about embedding geogebra.

can Desmos "3d" URLs also be embedded?

Can you share the differences in the URL?

Can this be done for Desmos' "geometry" as well?
