I wonder how big is the size difference of the binary. Original app is surely many times smaller as usual.

I'm guessing the original binary would be under 1Mb probably around 220 Kb, but i don't know.

Which makes this 10 to 50 times larger. Still, better than Electron by 10 times, 10 Mb versus over 100. But not as full featured, well tested, well supported or popular.
