slack, what should be a simple text chat built on electron is taking
873044 kb RSS memory on my desktop.

electron should be the last resort - it is probably the worst thing you
could do for your users if you care about resource constraints.

I would question the merit of even moving from a web application. I am
on 400/100kbit DSL in the country, and I don't have any issues with even
large react or ember based web apps.
