This puzzle was initially made for a speed setting competition, but then I re-set the middle and ending part to make it a better puzzle. Enjoy :)

Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column and outlined 3x3 box without repeats.
Nabner: No two digits along a yellow Nabner line can be consecutive, regardless of their position on the line. Digits on a Nabner line can't repeat.
Anti-Quadruples: A digit appearing in a black circle can NOT appear in any of the four surrounding cells.

Puzzle Link: You can solve the puzzle in CTC app.

Solution code: Row 2

Normally I avoid nabner puzzles, but I'm glad I went on this wonderful adventure anyway. What a beatiful puzzle!

Anti-speed-solving experience for me! I am so bad with nabner that it probably took me longer than it took you to set it ha ha. Still had good fun and learned a few tricks. Thanks :)

Great fun puzzle with lovely interactions! The solve path felt very precise till the very end, but it always knew when to keep me entertained at times x)

Fun idea for a constraint. It was a nice solve. Every move felt very intentional--really great job on this.

Very nice! Note to self: 4 and 5 are consecutive. Realizing that could have saved me an hour of solve time. Thank you

Solved the puzzle in 33 minutes, except I was stuck with a deadly pattern. Found the anti-quad I broke in the first 5 minutes, restarted, finished in roughly an hour. Honestly, that's a win for me -- I got to enjoy this puzzle twice!

I loved this. The way the antiquads send you ping-ponging through the grid! I plonked a few easy digits in at first but the challenge builds to a great midpoint. Really great puzzle. Thank you!!
