Recently wrote a small tool for personal use that limits my CPU frequency so I can sleep better without loud fans in the next room, with the UI I wanted (e.g. set limit to 4.2GHz for 8 hours).

Made it in Wails cause it was the easiest for the UI. App needs 10 MB of RAM, whereas the WebView2 process needs about 100 MB of RAM.

I’m surprised that Chromium doesn’t have a low memory mode that disables all of the crap your local software doesn’t need. Frankly 20 MB I’d be fine with but this browser tech in its current form really adds up.

I wouldn’t care as much if I had more RAM, but can’t get more than 32 GB in this market in good faith.

Guess I gotta rewrite it in .NET with… something for the UI.
