Hi, I've just stumbled upon this project, very cool!

But one thing is a bit misleading, since the official Spotify client uses CEF not electron.

Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in ...

Sure, you're not relating to the official client instead just want to distance yourself from electron there, but it would actually be nice to at least list CEF too :)

Cheers

Maybe a better wording would be:

Fast spotify client with native GUI, without web ui, built in

As the complaint folks have is with the relative weight of the web renderers rather than electron or cef itself

I agree, though just want to note that there also lightweight web renderer like sciter or lithtml which will also be sub 30MB ram unless you have some super high DOM node count. But that's not relevant for the readme 😄

It's a remark about a majority of recent multi-platform GUI apps being Electron-based, not necessarily about the official app itself. Thanks for the suggestion, I think we can leave it as is for now.
