The simplest way I can think of doing this is just have an app that wraps the other two apps in iframes….

More complex ways involve Rails engines, but integrating two existing apps into that could be difficult, I can see…

Another way is treat your two existing apps as services that your wrapper app makes API calls to… but that means your existing apps need to have APIs….

What is it you hope to achieve with this? What will you and your users get by having these two apps combined into one?
