My Cordova-based app has a download size of 5MB. It is the most lightweight app I have installed. Most native apps come with at least 50 MB, often a lot more for god knows what reasons.
The battery and memory consumption depends a lot on what the app actually does.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoInteresting, I thought Cordova was a browser wrapper, is there more that Cordova does? You're making me want to revisit Cordova.
- WA 7y agoNo, it’s just a wrapper around WKWebView and has the capability to expose native APIs in JS. But it’s still very lightweight, because unlike Electron, it doesn’t bundle an entire browser.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI agree, there's too many Electron apps that dont even use most of the things you gain from it. Might as well have a more lightweight browser.
