I definitely don't intend to imply that Electron apps aren't inherently heavier - they are, hence the second paragraph of my initial comment.

> I switched from Slack / Discord to Ripcord and, even though the UI is not great, it's much cheaper to run. It's using 80mb of RAM with multiple slack organisations open and multiple discord servers.

I actually switched to Ripcord for Slack myself! I find it doesn't provide a comparable experience to the first party Discord app, but it beats Slack all day every day. Slack is an excellent example of a poorly made and unoptimized Electron application, in my opinion.
