For (a totally bogus but hey) comparison, I'm shipping products which include the Linux kernel, userland (busybox plus a pile of scripts and some daemons & other utilities), "the application" (two-three hundred thousand lines of C maybe?) plus deps (including sqlite, crypto libs, etc.) and the compressed image that contains all of this easily fits in 16MB SPI NOR flash with a few megs to spare.
- symlinkk 5y agoDoes your product have any images or localized text that could balloon the size?
- foxfluff 5y agoNope.
- symlinkk 5y agoSo that explains why it’s so small then.
- foxfluff 5y agoIf you measured the proportion of localized text and images in the 25MB of javascript mentioned above, please post these numbers. Otherwise nothing's been explained. There's 4.3 megabytes of plain text in the KJV bible. Is LastPass' localization longer than the bible? https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10/pg10.txt https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10/pg10.txt
