I benchmarked 17 Electron apps on an 8GB Mac (and built an alternative that uses 2.2GB RAM)

Like many developers, I work on an 8GB Mac (2019 MacBook Pro). If you keep Slack, Teams, Outlook, Spotify, and Notion open, Activity Monitor quickly climbs past 10GB and swap memory thrashes your machine. I built Rammax (https://rammax.vercel.app) to fix this by sharing a single native Apple WebKit process pool instead of running 17 separate Chromium browser runtimes. 📊 Real Benchmark on 8GB Hardware: 17 Standalone Electron apps: 12.80 GB (impossible on 8GB without freezing) Rammax (Native WebKit): 2.24 GB Physical RAM saved: 10.26 GB (82.1% reduction) Install in 1 line: curl -fsSL https://rammax.vercel.app/install.sh Read original: https://dev.to/eddie3k/i-benchmarked-17-electron-apps-on-an-8gb-mac-and-built-an-alternative-that-uses-22gb-ram-mnm
