Hello, Lightpanda co-author here. Thanks for the evaluation and for sharing some results! I'd love to know more about your process and the crashes you ran into, if you're happy to share :)

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!

Re:Lightpanda migrate DOM implementation to Zig on Monday January 12, 2026 @04:09PM (#46594337)
For scrolling, when using Intersection Observer, we currently assume all elements are visible. So, if you register an observer, we will dispatch an entry indicating an intersection with a ratio of 1.0.

Thanks for opening the issue in the repo. To be clear here, the crash seems relative with a socket disconnection issue in our CDP server.

> info(events): event handler error try catch: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')

This message relates to the execution of gt-ie9-ce3fe8e88d.js. It's not the origin of the crash.

I have to dig in, but it could be due to a missing web API.
