Homepage Overhaul Discussion
The discussion revolves around creating a plugin to redesign the Discourse homepage. stevenpslade proposes turning questions into cards and adding liking functionality. He notes that this overhaul would require significant template and CSS changes.
DavidGNavas shares a related topic on material design experiments. HAWK expresses interest in the idea, as they already use a similar tile layout on their WordPress homepage.
sam suggests basing the redesign on one of his themes, which stevenpslade asks him to specify. erlend_sh identifies the theme in question and notes that implementing liking functionality may require more than just CSS changes.
Hello Discoursers,

This overhaul would need some big template changes, pulling in different parts of the question, and some big CSS changes. If it’s possible, I’m going to try!
This reminded me this recent topic:
I’d love to see that. We pull Discourse stuff onto our main WP homepage in tiles like this, so to be able to customise the community homepage to match would be cool.
@HAWK We do the same. It naturally make sense as you want to further customize your homepage, that you just use the Discourse homepage which would be easier to work with. I’ll update this thread if I have any luck.
Have a look at my theme, it should be fairly simple if you base it on that
which theme are you referring to?
This:
I think the following can’t be done with CSS alone though:
