Why are modern apps so god damn huge? A fucking messaging app doesn't require 500000000000000 MB!!! I wonder what shit load of fuck they're packing in those apps.

    It's why I don't get people who use jquery... It's not good . Make your own functions you use often

    Granted jquery isn't massive but all plugins and everything that comes on top you end up with such bloated crap 🙄

    Wondering the same! For example, whatsapp and Signal have close to the same functions. Whatsapp is about 50mb I though, Signal: 2-3mb...

    @linuxxx because Whatsapp wouldn't have enough room to fit their backdoor in 😂

    Maybe a bunch of unoptimized code, all possible backdoors, tracking ****... And a filler file to annoy everyone even more

    Well for starters, if you're making a hybrid app, that hybrid build framework goes around 6-8mb and with plugins/modules that you'll be using, size goes even higher

    Some might be due to assets.

    Messengers are now packed with emojis and all that crap
