I’m not a developer lol so sorry if it’s too absurd a leap but that entire game engine consumes maybe 100-200MB of ram and 30MB of storage overhead compared to the multiple gigabytes of nwjs/electron/etc. Yes it’s absurd and inefficient but that’s the point of a meme. Even shipping an entire game engine is less ridiculous.

  1. godot is a pretty small game engine, so bundling it wouldn’t be that bad (it’s smaller than chromium); but
  2. godot kinda sucks as a UI framework

I agree that godot is goated—I use it myself. But for plain UI stuff, I find it annoying to work with.

Even though godot is a game engine, people have made some pretty cool apps with it’s UI framework
