Feature or improvement you want

2.7.4 is 34MB
2.8.0 is 111MB!

Is that... normal?

If yes, from the release notes the only change that I believe would bump up the file size over 3 times is the support for the nostr protocol.
I'm glad this feature exists but I don't need this feature.

One might respond with "Well then just don't use that feature."

IMHO, 111MB is way too big for a simple feed reader app, and I really don't want to tax the aging flash cells on my old phone with a whopping 111MBx2 write whenever the change log has a bug fix/feature I really need.

Please reduce the size back down to under 40MB, or release a separate lightweight build without nostr support. (I'm assuming nostr is the reason for the 3x increase in size here. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Thank you so much for feeder @spacecowboy. It's excellent! – at least until 2.7.4 :)

Why should this be added?

To reduce wear on my phone's NAND cells.
