This app is around 180mb which I feel is not necessary, I've built a few apps with tauri and it works perfectly well with monaco editor and the app size is almost native size (20-30 mb).

I considered Tauri, but decided to go with Electron. Knowing exactly which browser engine and version will run the program outweighed the saved disk space (especially since I want Heynote to work on multiple operating systems and versions). The project maturity of Electron, and the fact that it gave Heynote automatic updates with very little effort, is an added bonus.

Edit: I do think that Tauri is a very interesting and promising project, but at the time of deciding a framework for Heynote, Electron felt like the better choice, and I'm happy with that decision.
