It's quite a bit smaller though I'm not familiar with how big Electron is nowadays.

The largest part is, by far, v8; I think there's room to remove unused code there.

You can see the size of the binary in the GitHub Actions builds:

https://github.com/windowjs/windowjs/actions

Each build workflow has a "Binary size" step at the end, that outputs the binary size, size after stripping, and size after using UPX.

Here's what the latest build got:

* Windows: 6,639,616 bytes (19,523,072 before UPX)

* macOS: 8,196,112 bytes (23,431,800 before UPX)

* Linux: 8,186,668 bytes (28,679,960 before UPX and stripping, 22,346,264 bytes after stripping)
