Hey guys
I forked the TC and played a bit around to add a few more features:
Placeholder when no thumbnail
Choose between grid and list style for desktop/mobile
More granular dimension control
More granular border radius control
You can find details in the repo: GitHub - jrgong420/discourse-topic-cards: This changed the topic list into cards with a modified layout, and a thumbnail if available.

In addition we also added a few new features. Check it out here:
Hey guys
Disclaimer: No AI was hurt in building this theme component Topic Cards theme component. Hence a huge shoutout to the original authors and contributors for the great work!
While at first this was a fork, over 80% of the code and structure was completely rewritten. We added a ton of new features and on first glance all the various settings can be quite overwhelming.
