Hello Discoursers,
What are your thoughts on a plugin that could completely redesign the Discourse homepage, turning questions into cards, like so:
Also, what are the chances that liking a question could also have functionality on this page? It could be hard, but is it possible?
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 is achieved with 50 lines or so of SCSS(CSS). You’ll notice the categories are packed together vertically.

I think the following can’t be done with CSS alone though:
