How does this compare to Lightpanda, which appears to be trying to solve the same issue? https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser (personally super happy to see Chromium-free solutions in this space!)

3 differences:

1. I use the MIT license, so you don't have to pay. Lightpanda requires payment if you use it for business. :)

2. I use Rust to try to further optimize.

3. Lightpanda isn't in Markdown format; it's more like a curl format.

Just wanted to add some clarifications to your list:

> 1. I use the MIT license, so you don't have to pay. Lightpanda requires payment if you use it for business. :)

Lightpanda uses the AGPL license, you can use it for business for free. Your only obligation is to distribute any modified version of Lightpanda's code + the license to your users.

> 3. Lightpanda isn't in Markdown format; it's more like a curl format.

I'm not sure what you mean, but Lightpanda can dump a rendered page in Markdown format via the CLI, CDP (using the custom LP domain), and the native MCP. This is a feature added recently.

BTW, Pardus looks nice, congrats! I'll follow your progress. And I agree, it's great to see more players in this space!
