HTML to PDF conversion is a common requirement in modern web applications. It allows users to save web pages, reports, and other content in a format that is easy to share and print. There are many libraries and services available for converting HTML to PDF, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will compare some of the most popular HTML to PDF renderers in Node.js, including Puppeteer, Playwright, node-html-pdf, and Onedoc.

Playwright
Playwright is a framework for Web Testing and Automation. It allows testing Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API.

Project mention: Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23
If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.
I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

ArchiveBox
🗃 Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more...
Project mention: Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

Project mention: Show HN: Consol3 – A 3D engine in the terminal that executes on the CPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23
supports WebGL over SSH/MoSH
https://www.brow.sh/docs/introduction/ :
> The terminal client updates and renders in realtime so that, for instance, you can watch videos. It uses the UTF-8 half-block trick () to get 2 colours from every character cell, thus simulating basic graphics.
https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl :
> Carbonyl originally started as html2svg and is now the runtime behind it.
Always wondered how brew.sh added the brew sprite there; that's real nice.
TIL that e.g. Kitty term can basically framebuffer modified Chrome?
https://github.com/chase/awrit :
> Yep, actual Chromium being rendered in your favorite terminal that supports the Kitty terminal graphics protocol.
FWIW Cloudflare has clientless Remote Browser Isolation that also splits the browser at the rendering engine.
A TUI Manim renderer would be neat. Re: Teaching math with Manim and interactive 3d: https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery/issues/99
What would you add to make it easier to teach with this entirely CPU + software rendering codebase?
What prompts for learning would you suggest?
- Pixar in a Box, Wikipedia history of CG industry: https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-36265807
- "Rotate a wireframe cube or the camera perspective with just 2d pixels to paint to; And then rotate the cube about a point other than the origin, and then move the camera while the cube is rotating"
- OTOH, ManimML, Yellowbrick, and the ThreeJS Wave/Particle simulator might be neat with a slow terminal framebuffer too

miniblink49
a lighter, faster browser kernel of blink to integrate HTML UI in your app. 一个小巧、轻量的浏览器内核,用来取代wke和libcef

gotenberg
A developer-friendly API for converting numerous document formats into PDF files, and more!
Use a server-side headless browser such as puppeteer to convert the HTML to PDF. This is the most reliable free option, but requires a server. If you need to use it in production, we recommend you use Gotenberg.

bromite
Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Project mention: Scraping Google trends, and incomplete datasets. Help, please? | /r/datasets | 2023-12-07
What i didnt tried: - scraping and using these (single page) tokens - headless browser - web-test-frameworks like selenium (programmable browser) - using Flaresolver (my best bet) https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr . A headless browser / proxy developed to bypass cloudflare. You can easily deploy it onprem with docker. I know google got its own defence machanisms, but i've got very good experience using it for scraping and crawling (at least cloudflare protected) websites. So i guess its very good at pretending being a normal browser, being a normal user.

There is https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython and an old widget for it in kivy-garden, https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.cefpython if you want to give it a go. I assume some work is needed though.

If you absolutely need SFML and the web stack side by side, you might want to look into CEF and similar.
