I looked at this app in depth and used it for about 2 days. Overall it is fairly usable and I liked it but the memory usage is killer. On a MacBook Air with 8 gigs, it uses 979 megs out of the gate and bloats up an additional 100 megs by the next morning.

Hey Scott-- how much of that usage was active memory vs cached/swapped?

Do you also run apps like Slack or Google Chrome? How does their memory usage compare?

Was this during initial sync (very resource intensive) or at a steady state?

(Thanks for the blog post btw!)
