Another year, another Quartz major version. Introducing the long awaited v4 release of Quartz! As always, I'm really grateful to the Quartz community and my GitHub sponsors for the continued support. It's been a great two years and I can't wait to see what else lies ahead :)

Why

I wasn’t happy with how difficult Quartz 3 was to setup -- especially for non-developers -- so I set out to make something easy to use enough for non-technical people to get going but also powerful enough that senior developers can tweak it to work how they’d like it to work.

Quartz 4 basically scraps all of the code and starts from scratch. Instead of Hugo, it now uses Node.js under the hood which JSX support which should lead to a much more helpful error messages and an overall smoother user experience.
