Javascript Desktop HTML5 Apps
using Electron or NW.js

here refer for nw.js but having same huge file problems also with Electron

A simple “hello world app” has /node_modules/ 190MB
and when generate zip (that includes this app helloworld.exe) zip is 284 MB (298,412,983 bytes)

/node_modules/ I think included to get so large zip app file… well is any way get a helwoworld desktop app zip file for about 20MB or so and Not so big…?

Not that I know of.

When packing together a project though, the node_modules folder can be excluded as it can be downloaded all over again using npm install

Either way though, you need what’s there.

OK
the practice apps you build are such huge over 200MB even for a hello world…?
The Electron apps like Visual Studio Code is 41MB or so… why this difference … what these developers are using… ?
