Much Ado About Quartos

Quartos are designed to:

See the home page tutorial to get started quickly.

Self-promotion is not so vile a sin.

What can be happier than to despise all package installs?: Nothing to install.; Extras, not requirements.; No combinatorial explosions of implicit dependencies.; Build multiple quartos on the same machine without conflicts.
Write out thy lines with stateless lazy-lists.: Cat strings without schlemieling.; Generate HTML lazily one line at a time.; Build pages without copying images or large media files.; No caches, file watchers, event listeners, or busy loops.
Run cleanly, as a simple script should do.: No plugins, shims, templates, wrappers, or boondoggles.; Never modify files outside the project folder (unless you insist).; No environment variables, hidden files, or modifications to your home folder.; Code is in the quarto folder, not the /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.0/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/quarto/quarto folder.
Brevity is the soul of www.: 1 Python module; + 4 Python scripts; + 0 ten-ton widgets; = 1 quarto folder

Quartos are made to be copied and modified, not to be installed and configured.

Installing:: Don't. Download it here or create a new repo.
Uninstalling:: Delete it. Out, out, brief quarto! It's but a working folder.
Upgrading:: Copy and paste. Quire code's a page, and all the scripts and modules are one folder.
Extending:: Edit the source code. One template repo makes the whole world kin.

Each quarto is a smörgåsbord, not a table d'hôte. (Which is best is a matter of taste.)
