The new /compare section is live. It's the home for honest, side-by-side breakdowns of how makesPDF stacks up against the major PDF generation tools — react-pdf, Puppeteer, WeasyPrint, wkhtmltopdf, DocRaptor, PDFShift, typst, iText, and pdfmake.

The first live page is react-pdf vs makesPDF: one-line difference, feature matrix, same-input/two-outputs code example, why people switch, and when react-pdf is still the right call. The remaining nine competitors are listed in the "Coming soon" rail and will land in batches over the next few weeks, starting with the highest-dev-trust pairings (Puppeteer, the "LLM + Puppeteer" wrapper pattern, WeasyPrint).

Each page reuses one shared layout, so adding a new comparison is a markdown-only change. If you want a comparison against a tool we haven't listed, the index page is the place to look — or open an issue and we'll prioritise.
