Hi there, thank you for the work. I find it strange that this is not a bigger point of interest for the Horizon theme. To me a ‘high context topic card’ would logically include a thumbnail (option).

The component works for me, and i have these notes so far.

- For some reason the post excerpt disappears after enabling it.
- I’m not sure about the full width image on mobile. It’s very wide, and sometimes not clear if it belongs to the topic above or below. I would maybe expect a smaller rounded rectangle between the username and topic title, or square one in front of it.
- Personally i would prefer the Horizon theme to show rounded topic cards on mobile as well, but that is a different matter i guess.
