Hi! I'm Rohit, the dev behind Everest. First of all, I want to thank all of you for trying out Everest and providing such great feedback. The project really blew in popularity since yesterday. I was not expecting a response anything close to this (Everest is #2 on GitHub's Trending Java repositories). I'm really happy that most of the responses have been positive with some constructive complaints. I'll make sure they're addressed in the coming alpha builds. Regarding performance: Yes, JavaFX is not the lightest thing on the block but its much much lighter than Electron-based options. I know the memory usage for Alpha v1 is not too great (not bad either) and it will improve as we go ahead. I haven't made any JVM/GC tweaks yet. I'm currently working to optimize the internals and that has improved performance quite a bit. I have my finals coming up in a week so the development is gonna be stalled for a while. But its gonna be fun. We'll build a kickass application together. Thanks, again! PS: HN keeps throttling my account since I'm a newbie around here so if you want to reach out to me, I recommend you do so via Twitter or email, both of which are available in Everest's README.
