The unzipped binary is 2.2mb, all the rest in Qt dependencies by the look of it.

44mb really isn't that offensive for a statically linked app anyhow.

44MB is roughly the size of a Windows 95 installation.

Both Windows 95 and Mouser are statically linked to a complex UI framework.

If you can solve the cross-platform GUI problem without Electron, be my guest. This is a perfectly acceptable app size for a modern macOS or Windows system.
