> However, it would never have been possible for me to make Heynote for all of Mac, Windows and Linux, on my spare time and within a reasonable timeframe, without Electron.

I'm confused - browsers already do this for you - From what I can tell you aren't using any specific APIs necessitating electron?

You also could easily have a live demo since it's a client side app.

> Yes, 200+ MB of RAM seems quite excessive in theory, but in practice it's less than 1% of the total RAM memory of my laptop (24 GB).

You should consider that people would be adding this to their workflow. So it's not not 200MB/Total RAM but instead it's 200MB/Remaining memory

Mine has 32GB Total total but less then 2GB free (and the only reason it's free is because it was swapped), which would make this ~10% of my free memory. This means when I run webpack or other things like that it swaps even worse.
