Looks cool but... Electron for a macOS widget? I understand that people use Electron to create cross platform apps without learning C++ (Qt, though there are bindings) or Java (JavaFX in particular) or something else, but imo using it for a macOS-only toolbar widget is an overkill.
It's a kind of trend man.😊
Also, This app can work cross-platform. There are many other cool menubar apps that you can find in the following list. I got my inspiration from here only.
I agree with you man. It's just an experiment. I had only 5 days to complete it. That's why I choose Electron, as Javascript in my stack. Hope, This can inspire someone to create a native app. 😊

I didn't see the Windows release, sorry. Yet I'm still with my opinion about 60/130MB for a toolbar pop-up.

Also, here is Window's release.
I think it would be pretty cool to treat this as a canary in the coal mine for the “official” DEV toolbar built natively and minimally.
