I'm using Airtable as a temporary database for #wipmusic. We've got a bot that saves shared YouTube, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Spotify links to an Airtable base, which is then turned into a music player over at line.fm

Right now everything is automated and running smoothly.

Been using Airtable for ShipTunes for the exact same flow as WIP Music

Super simple to use and it can auto generate a rest api in no time

Yeah, GoDaddy is the worst. Took me about 2 weeks to migrate one domain off there.

Once you start doing anything with Electron it will be around 140mb.

Nope I actually made apps with it. Hello World is ~45MB or so. Bdw you should check VSCode size. Its 65MB for MAC & less for Windows & Linux & its a full blown editor.

Checkout there.pm. Its Electron & ~68MB.

I think I have made my point 😂

Are there some resources on optimizing Electron build size? I remember I first saw electron builds at ~50MB when trying out webtorrent but I wasn't able to reach that size myself.

Try & build a Hello World app. Its like ~40-45MB which I don't remember but I built it. Some of my simple examples can be found here, here & here & I think it was very less in size.

I made a short blog a year or so ago about reducing size. If you know React/Preact I have a ready made boilerplate with Webpack Support I just created.

If you're getting a size like Pugson says then you're obviously doing something wrong with your code. You can find a nice list of resources at awesome-electron & if you don't know anything about Electron & as the docs suck then get started here.

If you still don't get the size reduced take a look at VSCode & Atom, its like 70MB with so much stuff.

Also, take a look at Electron Builder & if you still aren't getting any size reduction then show me the code. I'll take a look.

I would stop the damn chat pop-up from opening right as the page is loading. It covers the content, very annoying.

Also it's "losing" not "loosing" 😛️

Share gifs on Twitter and keep your tasks in #wip 😜️

Good suggestions. I think I'm gonna livestream too, a la @levelsio. Clever way to get people interested and sounds fun, too.
