Hence the "please consider" in front ;) I got lucky with naming my app: "Video Hub App" and despite being generic-enough, organically around 50 people find my software every day. With a name like "Signal" I sus

I'm unsure where I'm supposed to look. In the Task Manager, the app I created (Video Hub App), when running, is routinely between 40MB and 120MB under the "Memory" column. Are you saying there is RAM use tucked away unde

What a simplistic (and I think erroneous) view of Electron! You can't spare 40mb of RAM?

:) I tried to make it as easy as possible to build your own copy. At the moment it should be as simple as `npm install` and `npm run electron` (two commands with no other setup to create the installer -- all in under 5 minutes)

Thank you for pointing out the potential ambiguity in saying "MIT open source". I can't edit my comment at this point in time - I'll be more clear next time.

Once you digitize them, you'll want to browse the videos. Consider using Video Hub App - an MIT open source application (Windows, Mac, Linux) that shows you screenshots (that you can scrub through) from each video. https:/&#x2F

Since your app is currently Electron I'm surprised it doesn't work with Windows. Would it be hard to get the app to play nicely with Windows?

I've not kept statistics, especially that when people purchase they get access to all the OS versions. I'm guessing it's over 50% Windows but Mac is no less than 20% of the purchases. I don't sell my app through the Appl
