CSS for Printing to Paper

Show HN: A new open-source library to design PDF using React
Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.
The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.

The Gemini protocol seen by this HTTP client person (curl dev)
