The app.asar is 202MB on macOS. Are devDependencies bundled in there?

If possible, it might be worth switching to a bundler like Vite.

Another possibility is switching to Tauri (a barebones Tauri app is under 10MB because it the system webview instead of an embedded browser, and Rust instead of Node)

My sense is that lacking deep linking is ~60% likely to be a dealbreaker, but I'm not certain how important that function is.

Hello! I recently got part way to a Tauri proof of concept, but I found that 1) they don't yet support deep linking and 2) they've been on a kind of 1.0 security / architecture audit since August and all features / progress are frozen until that's done. My sense is that lacking deep linking is ~60% likely to be a dealbreaker, but I'm not certain how important that function is.

The security audit process seems to be close to done. Deep linking is the most upvoted issue, so hopefully that gets implemented soon
