clipper VS tdesktop

I've performed a couple experiments remaking Electron apps using Sciter.

My first target was https://github.com/AkashRajpurohit/clipper, a neat little clipboard manager. The owner was gratious enough to officially list my project under the "Clones" section of his readme =D The result was a 6mb file, compared to the original 165mb Electron app.

The second attempt was https://github.com/girkovarpa/temps-lite, an aesthetically-pleasing weather app which was motivated largely by the fact that the original was broken and abandoned yet still had people who wanted to use it. According to the open issues and forks trying to resurrect it, anyway. The file size savings were similar to the former, and they start virtually instantly. The Electron apps have a bit of delay and then a blank window before they finish starting up.

so potentially could be just to send an Instant View link pointing to an app instead of a site.

How is telegram Electron if it's https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop C++/QT?

Please report this to the Telegram GitHub.

The Telegram Desktop app is available on Linux, and since it is open source, is commonly available in distro repositories.

You just need to install Telegram Desktop if you want this specific thing :) Go to https://desktop.telegram.org and download it there.

Download the https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Download the https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop within the same directory as the Telegram executable, create a folder called TelegramForcePortable. This way you can save the Telegram settings across reboots in your persistent storage. no installation needed!

There are 2 versions, one is Telegram Desktop that you can get from their GitHub page, the other one is available on AppStore. I personally use the latter and it’s pretty much negligible in terms of battery impact.
