Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?
I've gone through a number of systems to convert CV's, business cards, and other docs and it hasn't let me down yet.

CSS for Printing to Paper

The Gemini protocol seen by this HTTP client person (curl dev)
Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.
