Though it’ll still be Electron bloatware, chewing up RAM and CPU cycles for tasks a native app could have done on a potato.

Well, in the case of an open source donation-supported project, it gets a pass from me.

Can't really ask more optimisation from the devs on top of what they already deliver imho, I'm just glad to have Signal

Maybe starting a native app would be terribly difficult for them
