Electron App Size. I can confirm that my electron app bundles are about the same size as @davefedele. Copy link Quote reply Member jlord commented Sep 4, 2015. You can zip your app and if you're using electron-packager you can ignore some node modules that you don't need when the app is running, this makes it a bit smaller. For instance. Created just because it could be, the Windows 95 Electron app provides a trippy way to experience operating system inception sans the headroom of a traditional virtual machine. Download Windows 95 Electron App. 10. TweetTray (Twitter App) Open the regular Twitter website in a new tab and you score a one-way ticket to distractionville. There is a way to reduce Electron size drastically (up to 99%, depending how big is your app), by using native browser, available in each OS, instead of loading webkit. BUT as built in browsers don't have the system API's, you will also be drastically limited in what you can do.
That’s only 0.1% percent of the size of the Electron app (the Electrino app is almost a thousand times smaller!). Now, this comparison comes with an enormous caveat. Electrino is just a proof-of.

Since an Electron app is just a fancy Node.js app, you will need to have npm installed. You can learn how to do it here,. All these things sum up and the final result is an app that is roughly 50mb in size. This is quite a lot and isn't practical for a simple app like our example here, but this becomes irrelevant when we work with big.

Now, this comparison comes with an enormous caveat. Electrino is just a proof-of. On the flipside, every Electron app bundles an entire web runtime with it, even though a suitable runtime already exists on all major operating systems. That results in bloated build sizes and excess memory usage , because each of these apps run a separate instance of Chromium, hogging CPU and memory resources even when they’re just idling in. The official Electron documentation suggests the Squirrel (Windows and Mac) installer and the built-in autoUpdater. An open source release server (“Nuts”) is available which handles the server side management of updates and releases.. The other option is electron-builder’s own update mechanism “electron-updater”. It is based on the established NSIS installer (Windows) and plain old.
