@tshenry Thanks so much for this component! 
We are using it along side the Topic List Previews plugin to create an Articles section for students in the Dataquest Community.
I have a feature request for you to consider in future iterations of this component - Can you please add the ability to add Canonical URLs to the articles?
Search engines use canonical links to determine and prioritize the ultimate source of content, removing confusion when there are multiple copies of the same document in different locations.
Thanks!
