Designs

TBD, but ideal to help shape what we'd craft

OSP standup feedback and questions:

• Default behavior if Post doesn't have a featured image.
• Does group have a setting to set background color?

[Sidsector9]

The group has a default background color which will be shown.

Does group have a setting to set background color?

Yes. As answered above.

@Sidsector9 are you still tracking work on this such that you can push up a PR or should I look to pull 10upper availability to help on a PR?
