Hari i think it's hard to do that, I will just go with Featured Card Extension

Hari as for the original question, you can also use CSS/LESS.

The following style will add border with your forum's main color to first post of every discussion:

.DiscussionPage .DiscussionPage-stream .PostStream > .PostStream-item:nth-child(1) {
    border: 5px solid @config-primary-color;
    padding: 1rem;
    margin-bottom: 3rem; /* Adds some space below the post */
}

.PostStream-item:nth-child(1) will target the post rendered at the top of the stream, but due to the infinite scrolling this will change as previous pages are unloaded.

.PostStream-item[data-number="1"] will target the post with number 1, so that if it's not visible no other post receives the style.

The design of the first post in my Wordpress extension might not be 100% applicable for normal posts because it's not a comment post, it's a special post type which has its own custom HTML template inside.
