Electron

roustem Thank you for taking the time to explain this all! With how big of a splash the 1P8 Mac beta has made, I'm sure you've got lots of other stuff to deal with right now.

Understanding now that most of the backend is independent, and the technical constraints you're working with, I think I agree that Electron is a reasonable solution (not that it really matters what I think 😁). Seems like most of the high memory usage problems with this front end are as a result of it being in beta, not because it's Electron.

It's good to know that a different front end isn't off the table, for when the time is right.
