the twitter app is 30M, we have already past the point of sensible app sizes. edit: fb messenger is 60M, a ghc-ios app with the elm compiler baked in is 24M.

To me that makes it clear that a minimum size of over 20M is a serious problem.

How crazy would it be if the Twitter app was over 50M, or Facebook Messenger over 80M?

(I should not have said "serious problem", I should have said "notable barrier to adoption." That people have made this possible at all is fantastic.)
