Hi Chris.

Yeah this is an interesting challenge.

It is far from straightforward I suspect as you are combining the functionality of the discovery route with the topic route. It’s not a simple reskin of either.

BUT, I have actually recently been looking at how one might extend [the Babble chat plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/87297) to do something similar but couldn’t dedicate enough time from paid work. Essentially this would be adding Topic support to Babble.

I’d definitely be interested in discussing my agency [Pavilion](https://thepavilion.io/) picking this up so long as the results were open source (the plugin extensions that is, not necessarily any additional theming)

Do you have a budget in mind? To set your expectations this could be quite involved and far beyond a theming exercise. Happy to take the discussion offline.
