It's _either_ an Electron app, _or_ built to use as little RAM as possible.

I'm not an Electron hater, but if you are starting out with Electron then you are already at a far disadvantage both technically (see aforementioned RAM usage) and politically (many people won't use them, mostly for the technical reasons). FWIW I use the Telegram client which is an Electron app, but I would never use a text editor (Atom), email client, or other Electron app given an equivalent app based on C[++], Python, or even Java.
