150mb? Am I the only one who thinks the size is ridiculous?

That's what you get when you build desktop applications using web technologies.

Yea that's definitely a down side to using Electron. Looks like around 130mb is the expected size for an Electron app.

although looking at the Slack app (which is built on Electron) it's only 18mb, so maybe I just need to look into slimming down the build.
