What a world we live in where 200mb RAM usage for a text editor is considered "lightweight".

This likely takes 500mb+ RAM, TFA probably didn't account for tauri://localhost in their calculation, which by itself takes 200mb+ RAM. Then your app process will take 100mb+ RAM, and there will be a couple of other processes besides.

Tauri is no better than electron in terms of RAM, just like people calling it "lightweight" are no better than flat earthers. Let's hope they come around.

Tauri can't help with RAM. It's still running in a browser.
