I’m curious what the resulting package would look like. Like you’re including the v8 runtime but not chrome itself (A la electron). I suspect it would be smaller but no idea how much smaller.

It's quite a bit smaller though I'm not familiar with how big Electron is nowadays. The largest part is, by far, v8; I think there's room to remove unused code there. You can see the size of the binary in the GitHub Actions builds: https://github.com/windowjs/windowjs/actions https://github.com/windowjs/windowjs/actions Each build workflow has a "Binary size" step at the end, that outputs the binary size, size after stripping, and size after using UPX. Here's what the latest build got: * Windows: 6,639,616 bytes (19,523,072 before UPX) * macOS: 8,196,112 bytes (23,431,800 before UPX) * Linux: 8,186,668 bytes (28,679,960 before UPX and stripping, 22,346,264 bytes after stripping)
