Note

I came across a talk about Quartz 4 by its developer Jacky, hosted by Brandon Boswell. As a major difference between Quartz 4 and it’s predecessors, unfied.js was introduced.

Recently I had a discussion with a teammate to discuss the way to parse and inspect the content of Confluence Wiki (It provides the HTML of a page via API) for a simple automation tool. Although we use python for our main scripting language, I think it’s worth trying Javascript and this framework (I didn’t even try tutorial yet, though 😅)
