Yes, we're working on that over at https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz (alpha release imminent). Our TodoMVC example is current ~20mb with a standard release builds, but comes down to 7.2mb with some compiler flags like -Oz and LTO enabled (these numbers of from macOS).

And we plan to allow fine grained configuration of the feature set, so if you don't need certain image formats or layout algorithms or networking support, then you can disable them and save on binary size.

Ohhhh...this is so awesome. Fits the most common app usecase for plain HTML+CSS rendering library and not a humongous browser for developing offline apps and its terrific that something like blitz exists.

blitz is cool piece of tech but it seems that it needs dioxus framework to do any sort of interactivity which in turn needs to be written in rust. Which is a lot slower than writing a electron app.
