 * This is a great theme, but there’s just one thing missing. Are there really no
   featured images on individual posts? Would really like this option.

 * You could achieve that with a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten
   when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

 * In your child theme you would add a thumbnail function in content-single.php 
   to output the featured image, and style it as needed with CSS.

 * It would be great if a featured image at the top of the post was built in, like
   most themes. So that people don’t have to be a programmer to get it to work.
 * Otherwise, I love the theme!
 * Any chance that will get updated?
