This! I love simplicity of electron but it is absurdly resource hungry.
- DaiPlusPlus 9y agoI don't agree that Electron is simple. Electron runs a Node.js instance as a websever and application server in-proc, while also running Blink/WebKit for each frame instance. There's no consolidation going on, and I feel for a majority of Electron applications there's no need for the Node instance because all they're serving is an Angular app using the built-in `chrome.` APIs. What would be simple is if a script tag in a single HTML file could access the filesystem or Windows registry - but under Electron they can't.
