Hi,  
I need a way by which I can create a **custom static page, use jquery over it for calling third-party API** and use it as a home page for my site. I have already used two plugins which are as follows:

1. **procourse-static-pages**
2. **discpage with discourse-home-page plugin**

But none of above fulfill my requirement. If I use the first one then, I am not able to use any js code or jquery on the page. If I go for the second one then, It creates a category for the static page and further use topic under this created category as static page which is not so reliable. Is there any other way to do this?

Feedback appreciated  
Thanks
