it'll be neat to see if ya'll end up near slack or discord levels of resource consumption, or whether you are slimmer/leaner. is this at all a concern of the team? is chat data all kept in memory or does some of it get stored/loaded on demand, in service worker caches or indexeddb or sqlite or other?

on my 4gb, 6 year old daily driver i dont find electron apps to be difficult. personally i dont think it's that worthwhile to try to appease the vast ranks of anti-electron anti-web zealots (i doubt any of them would ever be satisfied no matter how many gains were made). but it would be interesting to hear of folks adopting more advanced techniques to keep resource consumption down.
