Have started playing around with [particles.js](https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js/), managed to get it working on a little landing page ([ethhub.io](https://ethhub.io)) and now I’m wanting to branch out and try it on a discourse install. Wondering how much of this I could do from the customise section of the admin panel and where in my discourse install would be a good place to put the .js files?

My recommendation here would be to either write a plugin or wait for [native theme support](https://meta.discourse.org/t/native-theme-support/47494).

You could wire something in via a customization but it will get messy.

Native theme support is here, if you’d like to try now.
