When I searched this on Perplexity, I found answers to use concurrently package or npm-run-all etc.
I didn’t want to start another rabbithole, so I quickly tried to see if there’s a simpler way. And I found it after 2-3 tries myself.
In your package.json
"dev": "(sleep 7 && open http://localhost:8080/) & npx quartz build --serve --directory public",
There are 2 parts to this command, both of which start simultaneously (due to &):
(sleep 7 && open http://localhost:8080/)- Sleeps for 7 seconds and opens localhost.
npx quartz build --serve --directory public- Starts building and serves public
I love these small hacks, even if it makes absolutely no impact whatsoever. I smile a little when it automatically does things.
