Dansk Dynamit website running on Discourse

Hi, thank you very much!

To ease maintainability of our theme we chose not to overwrite a single Discourse template. We did however write a ton of CSS as a result. Besides the custom header we’ve developed two Discourse plugins:

The hot-topics plugin adds the like button to each topic on the homepage. It also adds a /hot route that sorts topics favoring total views and likes (including comments) while factoring in when the topic was posted. Much like Hacker news. See Discourse Hot Topics

The links-category plugin allows you to have a “Links” category in Discourse that changes the main textarea to an input where you can enter a URL. Again, much liker Hacker News.

Both are working great for us and while they’re still in development we hope the community will find them useful!
