Electron app that only flashes ISOs

balena.io/etcher/ is an Electron app that *literally* only has the following functionality: - select an iso image - select a storage device - press a button to flash the iso to the device the app is -= fucking =- 90 MB Electron is satan's work, istg balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB ... balena.io

A tweet complains that balenaEtcher, a simple app for flashing ISO images to storage devices, takes up 90 MB because it is built with Electron. The joke is mocking Electron apps for bundling an entire browser runtime for basic functionality, calling the excessive size "satan's work."
