Building on top of Forem

Dev.to and Forem.dev both show the content in the same style.
Are there examples where the content is shown in a totally different layout or format?

I have a community site in mind where I want members to share their common interests in a person (Their high school Math teacher), an institute (Their local community hospital), an interest (Focus on Lord of the Rings), a hobby (toy trains), a video game (Dungeon and Dragons), a city (San Diego) etc.

I want to explore how to start a subject and link People-Places-Events. For example, When someone mentions Mr.Derek Thomson was her favorite Chemistry teacher at HHS, Cupertino, A different member should be able to link Derek as a classmate of his father Dr Roberts Smith at AHS, Fremont during 1977-80.

These relationships between people and places should be nurtured to add more content.

I'm looking for some examples. Initially, I thought I should build everything myself but Forem platform has too many things already builtin.

We don't have radically different styles outside of colors and some imagery, for the main flow, but there is a lot you can do with pages such as what we do for events like dev.to/wecoded

We are looking into other customizations, though, in the future.
