> Slack has a standalone app? I've only ever used the web version. What more does it do?

Chew up a bunch of RAM and glitch display compositing if my experience is typical.

My slack has been running for days now, and it's humming along at 50mb.

Electron is multi-process. If looking in Windows task manager, there will be the initial process at 50 Mb and then e.g. 7 more background processes.

That puts it at 250mb. That is quite a lot for a chat app.
