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 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.
