I see you're using html5ever for HTML parsing, and like it's trait/callback based API (me too). It looks like style/layout is not in scope at the moment, but if you're ever looking at adding style/layout capabilities to lightpanda, then you may find it useful to know that Stylo [0] (CSS / style system) and Taffy [1] (box-level layout) are both avaiable with a similar style of API (also Parley [2] which has a slightly different API style but can be combined with Taffy to implement inline/text layout).

If you don't need JavaScript, then you might be interested in https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz. It pulls in Servo/Firefox's CSS engine Stylo (and Servo's HTML parser html5ever) and pairs it with our own layout engine (which we are implementing mostly as libraries: Taffy [0] for box-level layout and Parley [1] for text/inline layout) and DOM implementation. Rendering and networking are abstracted behind traits (with default implementations available) and you can drive it using your own event loop. Minimal binary sizes are around 5mb (although more typical build would be more like 10-15mb). [0]: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy [1]: https://github.com/linebender/parley

Ironically the rationale for using Discord is that people are more likely to join it! It may be a case that this depend on the community one is targeting. Discord is popular among Rust developers, but perhaps less so among browser developers. If Zulip is more acceptable to you, then I also hang out in the Linebender Zulip [0] Linebender [1] is an open source collective whose 2D renderer (Vello [2]) and text layout library (Parley [3]) we have adopted (and are actively contributing back to) as another part of our "make everything modular" strategy in Blitz.
