I tried to find out why there are different formats for posts and what they are made for.
Standard
Aside
Image
Video
Audio
Quote
Link
Gallery
The only difference that I noticed was a different icon when no featured image is used.
Is that all there is to it?

The formats aren’t Kleo specific. They are standard WP formats: https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats

With that said, Kleo stylizes each format differently

– different color border left of the title in masonry list
– image, video, slider gallery, audio player or quote styling in the masonry and carousel posts list and at the top of the post themselves if enabled.

I am wondering if it can be arranged that (in my case) when selecting an audio post format with a soundcloud link (or other WP accepted) that similair to the youtube (video format posts) there appears a play button and you can actually listen to the song straight from the main page instead of needing to go into the post (how to achieve this?

I also find it very disappointing that the post formats are available but has had no special attention. With VC I can do a lot, but it would be great if some attention would be pored into making the post formats have a visually more atractive appearance (especially the audio output)

Perhaps a future request?

How to achieve this?

I also find it a bit disappointing that the post formats are available but has had no special attention. Especially the inherent music player and how it is displayed within Kleo. Although I can do a lot with VC, it would be great if some attention could be pored into making the audio/video post formats have a visually more attractive appearance (especially the audio output lacks appeal).

Perhaps a future request?
