> Slack is currently eating 600MB of my RAM, for something I check maybe once an hour.

You forgot about the times when two or more of the electron applications you run because you have no other option decide to take 20% CPU each or more.

Even if you make it a point of pride to run a computer that eats power measurable in kilowatts per hour, that's bad when on battery at least.

And from the article:

> One of the main core differences with Tauri is that it uses a Webview instead of using chromium like in Electron.

What's the difference? It will still end up eating all that ram and needlessly refreshing the cat gifs someone posted a day and a half ago.
