I realized the fact that I need to reuse the stuff instead of recreating it after some time of going through this exercise. I went through [this course](https://www.eduonix.com/courses/Web-Development/Getting-Started-with-Ember.JS-Tutorials-from-Ground-Up) to get a deeper understanding of ember concepts.

With that and the idea you shared about the `discovery.` routes, I am gonna dive into the discourse code to see if I can get a clear understanding of how discourse fetches the data for those routes and passes it to the component.

Thanks a lot for your time @eviltrout.
