Hi, everyone.  
My need is to set the " timeline " of " Discourse " similar to the " timeline " of Facebook.  
We are migrating a Facebook community for the " discourse " .  
They are accustomed to photos and videos in the " timeline " , and we understand that the appearance of " Disocurse " should be as close as possible to the Facebook .  
Has anyone done this setting ? Can you indicate to us which communities that already use Discourse this way? Thank you all. We have visited some community sites with similar characteristics , but we need help to make the required settings .  
We’re loving the " Discourse "

Using the [topic list previews plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/41630) combined with [some major CSS changes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sams-personal-minimal-topic-list-design/23552), you could achieve something close to a Timeline-like design.

Users would still have to _enter_ the topic to interact with it though.

out of curiosity, does this mean that “it’s impossible or very hard to apply changes that results in interacting with a topic in the topic-list-page”?

My team is already using the plugin " dicourse -topic - previews ," and is working on the CSS . Have achieved some progress , getting put images in the " timeline " . But when we enabled " mobile-friendly " in the settings of " discourse " , the images are not shown in the " timeline " . We are struggling to solve.

I wonder if you or someone can help indicate to me some programmer who has performed all the procedures to set up the " timeline " equal to the : [TIDBITS.IO](http://TIDBITS.IO)

Important: the ideal setting for us is the image of this post . With the big picture. We understand that the interaction of members can only occur within the post. This is not a problem for us .

With enough monkey patching, nothing is impossible 😛 But Discourse is currently not _designed_ for this type of interaction, so no such feature would be particularly pretty on the inside. More on that here:

> Hey team! I want to add some information to this thread since I just made an attempt to build a piece of this. Creating the link topic seems to be covered by this plugin: [GitHub - danskdynamit/discourse-links-category · GitHub](https://github.com/danskdynamit/discourse-links-category) What I attempted was the upvote plugin. I found that without a significant amount of duplication of code and monkey-patching, it’s not possible to break out the like button and reuse it elsewhere. In order to add this like/vote button on the topic list, that’s exactly wh…

Just put up a topic for it in the #Marketplace. If @angus the author of Topic Previews is available for freelance work he certainly seems like a natural first pick 😉
