Neutralinojs – Build lightweight cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript
https://github.com/neutralinojs/evaluation
8MB vs 42MB for electron. That's pretty real savings IMO!
It's also using the existing shared libraries on your system, so there's a very real chance a lot of this 8MB might be ready resident & take zero additional space. It'd be great to see what the memory impact of launching a second & different app would be!
Personally I think the Electron hate is because people think every Electron app behaves as badly as Slack. Honestly 42MB is not that bad. But it hurts my soul that each app has it's own static copy of the browser, means there is zero chance for sharing. If you are running 2-3 apps it's fine but I want a world where we can potentially have dozens or even a hundred little gui apps running & it works fine, no problem. That would be on par with native apps & this is a clear demonstration of one way we could get there.
The missing next step is that this system launches a mini http/websocket server to run. It'd be interesting to explore using a lightweight Sandboxing multi vm to host apps on, might make the server side lighter weight too. Wasm, or cloudflare's workerd... The CRI folk have been busy building support for managing work let like things like this, & desktop could definitely pull some wins, now that folks like Neutralinojs and Tauri are starting to do better at desktop webapps.

I'd say the lower RAM usage is a bigger deal than the actual app size. Here are some basic comparisons: https://github.com/neutralinojs/evaluation

"there is currently no plan for PWA support in Firefox." - Mozilla gives up on PWAs in Firefox 85
Side note: There's alternatives to electron that are ultra light weight. Neutralinojs is one I've been keeping an eye on. The proof exists that it's possible to make performant web apps run native.

Neutralinojs – Build lightweight cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript
I looked into some alternatives a while back [1] and thought Neutralino looked promising except that it doesn't support node modules. I.e. you cannot use the existing ecosystem of node-stuff.
Still, glad there are many options for using web UI to create desktop apps these days.

language for easy desktop apps
Electron lets you make you simple desktop apps using html and javascript, but you might get memed for hogging up too much memory. There are other solutions that seem to be better, but I haven’t tried them. Here is a comparison I found online

I created LucaMail - Next Generation Beautiful Featureful E-Mail Client for Desktop
As a fullstack dev, I did try electron. but I am not Microsoft and my app was not as optimized as vscode can be. If you wan to keep using html, you may want to look into tauri or neutralinojs (among others)

Neutralinojs – Cross-platform desktop application development framework
> but it uses your system's existing browser
According to (1) that is incorrect. It uses WebKitGTK+.
