What's the size of an Hello World with Wails? uncompressed? Because that's the issue with Electron, shipping yet another entire web browser with every installation. At the same time, if the app doesn't ship with a browser and use the webview available then it defeats the purpose of using that kind of tech since it means that whatever chromium engine which runs on the user's device has to be tested. No an issue for simple apps, a much bigger one with complex applications with browser API edge cases.
- chris_st 4y agoMy app (which is bigger than Hello World, but not by much) is about 9M on disk. This is typical for Go apps, oddly enough. It's not compressed so far as I know.
- hogyncymraeg 4y agoThere's built in support for UPX so you can get it down to about 3M. There's a UPX issue with Mac universal binaries though.
