why is anki for macos half a gigabyte in size. it's a fucking flashcard viewer
my most millennial opinion is that if your app needs more than 100MB there's probably something wrong
and ideally it should be a tenth or a hundredth of that
pro tip if you're bundling the qt libraries with your app only bundle the ones you're actually using, qt is an everything framework
better yet consider static linking (is this heretical of me to say)
@erincandescent for a proprietary app, sure, but anki is open-source?
@erincandescent hell, the core parts of qt are lgpl, so even proprietary apps can statically link if they provide unlinked binaries (iirc that's the lgpl stipulation)
But probably the developers didn't build Qt from source
@erincandescent maybe they should build it from source tbh, dealing with the qt company's bullshit makes me want to do that if i need to use qt in a future project
