built and open sourced a postman alternative, and decided to do it on Electron.

what has been funny is indeed when having to "defend" electron when it comes to memory footprint etc.

One thing that I always thought was interesting is that people make the argument by comparing the full Electron process footprint VS the smallest possible Tauri/native mental model and all without thinking about all the advantages of electron like development speed, cross platform consistency etc.

we have now optimized it a lot and we even show the actual usage inside the app for folks to monitor.

here is the repo in case you wanna have a look: https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden
