Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron
Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

What's going on with the Mac version repository?
Telegram's official website links to a repo from user overtake, but that hasn't been updated in six months, despite the app obviously getting many updates in that timeframe. The repo has a few pull requests—some open, some closed, but nothing closed in the last fix months.

Animated stickers flicker unless active view isn't stationary
For a couple of updates already I've been noticing this behavior on my Android phone. Telegram support has been silent unsurprisingly, so I've considered opening an issue directly on github, but repo for android client doesn't allow this. I'm out of ideas how to bring attention to this, because I know other android users with the same issue so it's not user-specific

— Do not use checkboxes and radio buttons in cells. Due to the complex xml structure and internal layers coloring, simple initialization of the checkbox on old phones took a very long time. As a solution, either use the checkbox images (but then they will be without animation), or use a custom checkbox, as for example telegram uses https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/Components/CheckBoxSquare.java Made by analogy on kotlin: https://github.com/ivan200/buyer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/app/simple/buyer/util/views/CheckBoxSquare.kt
