I support this.
Fuck putting Chrome under everything just because you're lazy.
Letting Telegram and WhatsApp run side by side and watching their resource usage is just ridiculously funny to watch. -
mishaor17916yThey should use the framework architecture: there's a 50 MBs Electron installer to install, it runs as a minimal server and starts one instance of Chromium with multiple tabs + main process when requested to. App installers are around 5 MBs and apps consume a lot less resources.
-
@mishaor I threw Telegram in as comparison. It and WhatsApp have a similar Featureset but WhatsApp uses a metric shit ton more resources.

@mishaor I just want PWAs for desktop.
A lot of my electron stuff is just configuring existing webpages for desktop. 50mb to run a 20kb site? This ain't it chief -
mishaor17916y@woodworks or just ditch Electron completely and create one standart for applications to rely on. AFAIK Google and Microsoft allow you to publish PWA apps on their stores.
-
@mishaor 🙃 as of yesterday chrome rolled out update 70 to all users which enables desktop PWAs!!!
-
mishaor17916y@woodworks finally somebody will make electron devs grasp the concept of finite space
-
@mishaor I just tried it out and it's honestly great, basically everyone has chrome and my Vue pwa works like native!
Chrome also won't allow the app to pwa unless it meets a bunch of requirements, and has a limit on the cache as well as requires a service worker to be registered.
FUCK ELECTRON
Edit: it may not have been clear from this but the app requires trivial space on my PC because it runs off of chrome kinda

Just like GMO foods have to be labelled as such in some regions, electron apps should be labelled too so I don't accidentally contract RAM-herpes
