Why are we still building 200MB desktop apps for simple tasks?

I ve been obsessed with performance lately. It feels like every new developer tool is built on Electron, eating up 500MB+ of RAM just to stay open.

I ve been experimenting with Tauri and Rust to build a PostgreSQL client (PgNative), and the results are wild: the binary is under 10MB and it idles at ~40MB of RAM.

PgNative - A fast, lightweight PostgreSQL client for Mac & Windows.

Stop renting your DB tools. PgNative is a high-performance PostgreSQL client built with Rust and Tauri. It’s ultra-lightweight (under 10MB), memory-efficient, and runs natively on Apple Silicon, Intel, and Windows. No subscriptions, just speed.
