Are you sure HipChat was a native client? At least on MacOS I’m pretty sure it was some web view. If not Electron, one of the others. I was very happy when we switched from HipChat to slack.

HipChat was originally built using Adobe Air (2012) [1]. Then they switched to QT using WebView (2013) [2]. Then they created Stride using Electron (2017) [3] Finally they created a partnership with Slack (2018) [4].

  Thanks for the context! I was using from 2017 -> Feb 2019 when we migrated to slack. It definitely had a webview feel similar to slack. I never particularly noted any memory issues. I haven't noticed any with slack either though. For me my top memory consumers end up being: 1. Docker (web dev servers) 2. Chrome 3. Firefox 4. VSCode 5. 1Password 6. Spark 7. Sublime Text Even at the bottom of the list they are using 200-300 MBs. Spark, 1Password, & Sublime Text are all "native" apps so I really don't understand what the whole fuss is about.

    I don't know which 1 password you are using but my 1password uses two accounts and sits at below 100mb. lower than slack/spark/vscode and many more apps.

      I’m using 1Password 7 for Mac with 6 vaults. Seems to hover around 300Mb. Spark is a native app right? If it’s not they definitely nailed the look and feel of a native app.

It was a webview with Qt at one point and used ~25-50mb of ram typically
