Probably this is because we are using string.matchAll which is a node12 function. We better find an alternative for this.

@nandiheath Gatsby requires Node.js 10.13.0 or higher

I think you may add a .nvmrc file to hint the node version, then add "using nvm" into the recommended practice in README somwhere. There is even a nvm for windows project that supports workflow similar to nvm (which supports Linux and Mac). So you may have all platforms covered. It's always nightmare-ish to use OS-bounded node version anyway.

[nandiheath]

yeah but what I mean is we shouldn't scarify the node 10 compatibility just because of a simple string.matchAll function, which we can easily replace with other implementation.

And I am not opposed to add .nvmrc and specify the version in README 😀

[wingkwong]

I'm revising README.md. I'll include the version in it.
