Embed a meteor app inside a non-meteor webpage

I am trying to embed a meteor app (a) hosted on server (A) inside a webpage (b) running on webserver (B) (In my case the meteor app is running on meteor.com and the webpage (b) is built on Drupal and hosted on another server running nginx and php). I found the following possible solutions but none works well or is elegant.

Is there any other solution or a way to improve any of the previously mentioned ones? Is this even possible at all or am I trying to use meteor in a way that it was not designed to? I have seen it mentioned on github "we support embedding Meteor content in non-Meteor content" https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/546#issuecomment-11458672 but what does this actually entail?

The github reference is irrelevent. It discusses integrating 3rd party widgets within a meteor app.

You should have a look at this thread and this one from meteor-talk google group.

Basically your assumptions are right. Currently, meteor is not the most pleasant of solutions for building widgets to be embedded elsewhere.

Also, there are security concerns and consequences about embedding resources from external domains.

I'd actually have a look at Firebase and APISpark where they provide an easy backend to any javascript frontend. But that requires wiring up your frontend code yourself, as you've already pointed out. But it should be easier than DDP.
