        Which are also electron. Wow, triple electron. So stupid.

        I’m all-for web tech apps, but ffs use Tauri, Wails, or whatever else uses the OS level web component. (Which is gonna be chrome on windows anyway!)

          WebView on Android is built into OS, so it’s free space-wise, and it uses the existing Chrome app.
