That is why I've decided to develop all my apps in Qt C++ and QML. For example I've created Plume[1] - an alternative to the resource-hag Electron app Notion. It's the fastest block editor in my benchmarks (on the website). Faster than the fastest comparable native app on macOS.

Yes, Qt is quite a bloaty - the binary size is 139.2mb currently, but I think with static linking and some trimming, I can get it much lower.

Doesn't Qt make you pay for a license in order to statically link?

[rubymamis]

If you use Qt under the GPL, you can statically link Qt with your application, but your application must also be licensed under the GPL. If not, then yes, you need to pay for a license. That's from what I know.

Then don't statically link? What's the problem?
