Zstd already follows the pareto line very closely and also decompresses pretty fast. In case you're looking for a memory-safe version in Rust that avoids the FFI penalty in hot loops, optimized to hell and back, this here is the new kid on the block: https://github.com/paddor/zrip

I agree on the memory usage of electron apps though. Been using Slack for 10 years now and it has never been slower. A freshly started Slack app on my macOS takes up nearly 1GB. It's nuts imho.

Can I ask why ZIP? Isn’t it quite heavy on CPU at a not-that-good compression rate? I’m thinking of LZ4 or Zstandard instead.
