Hi All, In the main home page I would like to see a mini summary of the topic. IS this anywhere in the setting or not available? Check screenshot: [Markup 2021-02-23 at 18.05.34.png - Droplr](https://d.pr/i/yC2Yl9) Would like to see a mini summary underneath each topic. Is this possible? Thanks ---

Hello! By mini summary, you mean something similar to this, or? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/4/24e2f3f102d74b68494e6c817d47fd60a3c7b4a9.jpeg) ---

I mean a brief description of the topic below each one where my screenshot arrows are. ---

This: [Markup 2021-02-23 at 18.14.56.png - Droplr](https://d.pr/i/44jbIi) but duplicated on the right side too. ---

> [@nanohits](#): > > This: [Markup 2021-02-23 at 18.14.56.png • Droplr](https://d.pr/i/44jbIi) This shows the contents of the “About the [category name] category”, I think, rather than a summary of individual topics. ---

I suppose a plugin (or theme component?) could maybe be written to display, underneath the topic’s title, the first x characters of the topic’s first post. Is that the sort of effect you’re wanting? ---
