This is slop, and not really adding value, IMO.
I think energies should go towards something like sciterjs, or equivalent tech, with with a small footprint gives a great cross platform DX. I recall the sciterjs author a few years ago tried to put together some donations to open source, but it didn't go through.
Electrobun was an effort recently (but that too decompresses to ~70MB). There was antjs or something, which seems to have gone nowhere. Small size, scriptable, cross platform, huge library - whoever cracks this has the platform of the future. (No wonder TUIs are doing so well.)
