In contrast, the Sciter release is only 6mb (3mb compressed).
I used Quark (Sciter's version of electron-builder) to pack the program's resources into a single file, and here is the result: https://github.com/GirkovArpa/clipper-sciter/releases (I've only packaged for Windows at the moment).
Actually it didn't pack the .mp3 files for some reason so I just zipped those up with the executable.
Not only is the filesize a magnitude of order lighter, but it starts up way faster and without an empty grey window at the beginning.
- Popups which are supposed to be hidden offscreen until activated can be scrolled into view when the list of clipboard history is long enough. I intend to fix this as soon as I can and have posted a question about it in the official Sciter forums here: https://sciter.com/forums/topic/position-absolute-bottom-0-d...
I would like to emphasize that this is my attempt at a clone but it's not a port. Since the original Clippy is written in React, a genuine port would utilize Sciter's "Reactor".
So I cloned Clipper (https://github.com/AkashRajpurohit/clipper) in Sciter to the best of my ability.
The original as an Electron app is 165mb.
In contrast, the Sciter release is only 6mb (3mb compressed).

Some caveats:
- I haven't copied the button click waves effect from here: https://materializecss.com/waves.html (yet).
- I haven't implemented the tray icon (yet).
