I've spent the last two years building a new email client

For this, a mail client, I doubt there'd actually be much saving going native - it's going to need browser level HTML either way. So here Electron may have negligible cost. Thunderbird easily goes over 300M when it's been running a while for instance.

For other things I'm far less keen as Electron is often a sign of a needless memory hog - 100M pomodoro timers and such like.

Probably. Spark takes up around 200M on my laptop, so it's not that big of a deal.
