Hi! I’m creating a Discourse that focuses on images, at least on the majority of its categories. I remember seeing one or several Discourse forums dedicated to art and especially photography. I’d like to have an alternative preview of the topic list that shows the first image of each topic, for example. Do you know any plugin/theme/components (preferably official) that would be adapted to my goal? Do you have any URL of existing Discourse forums that makes use of that kind of customizations, and present their content “images first” (but text or legends will be important too)? To be more precise, what I have in mind is a forum dedicated to atmospheric optic phenomena, like [Reddit - Please wait for verification](https://www.reddit.com/r/atoptics/). So, pictures are important, but I also want my forum to be a place to sort of, discover wonders that most people don’t even know they exist, with clear and simple text explanations (kind of like the “simple.” version of Wikipedia). A place to visit to learn and share. I’m just starting the thing and made only categories. It’s looking currently like this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/9/1/2/9124aae499f25f99d82960c0abb66cc83bdf62f4.png) I’m using only [Category Icons](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-icons-component/104683) for now. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-are-good-plugins-or-theme-components-for-a-forum-emphasizing-pictures/225914)._
