## Comparison
### Internals
| Part | Electron | Gluon |
| ---- | -------- | ----- |
| Frontend | Self-contained Chromium | System installed Chromium |
| Backend | Self-contained Node.JS | System installed Node.JS |
| IPC | Electron's Internal API | Gluon's API via CDP |
| Status | Production ready | Early in development |
| Ecosystem | Distributed (many separate projects) | Integrated |
### Stats
| Stat | Electron | Gluon |
| ---- | -------- | ----- |
| Build Size | ~190MB | ~2MB[^1][^2] |
[^1]: Does not include system installed components
[^2]: Early/WIP data, can be reduced in future
## Release Schedule
Gluon (and it's subprojects) use a `major.patch` version format, with major releases being released at ~22:00 UTC daily if there are changes present in `main`, while using `X.0-dev` in the meantime. Patch releases may happen inbetween to fix bugs (not adding anything new or breaking).
