I'm not positive that I know.
I hate to be negative about things, but in this case I'd be charged if I answered.

The problem I'm having is that it's essentially a web site that runs on the desktop.
I'm not really sure how I feel about it because it's all javascript, and I freakin' hate javascript.

I can understand that.
If it quarks like a duck, it's probably a water fowl - and JS is particularly fowl.

I'm toying with the idea of re-writing my reputionator app, and was thinking a cross-platform approach would be cool. However, after looking at the size of the disk footprint (over 50mb), i'm having 2nd thoughts.

50Mb is nothing these days - it's only a 1.14m stack of floppy disks ...

I think you mean 1.44MB.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I toyed with a similar idea... And rejected it when I realised what a pain Electron programming was going to be, and what an even bigger pain deployment was going to be, especially as I was depending on external C libraries (libxml2 and libxslt).
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

You can find some alternatives here: tools-for-building-cross-platform-desktop-apps-with-web-technologies[^]
What I have heard is that besides the large footprint, it is also very difficult to write good behaving applications in Electron, so I would not recommend it for any complex application unless you have a team of developers behind you that can solve all the issues.

I am a team of 1.
Ever since the "cross-platform" idea was invented, it's been rediscovered time-and-again, that the juice ain't worth the squeeze, and targeting one platform is always the best idea. That was back in the mid-80's.
35 years later, nothing has really changed. And that's sad.

I've been investigating Electron for an app I want to rewrite but I got put on hold when I read an article ?somewhere? on uSofts new framework to be released with .NET 6. Microsoft unveils .NET MAUI for cross-platform apps | InfoWorld[^].
I don't know if it will be something I can use or not, but I'm too busy right now anyway.

It looks like Maui is a no-go for me because they didn't mention linux (that I noticed). I don't care about or need to support mobile devices, or even Macs. I want linux and windows desktop.

That was the one draw back for me also, but hoping they add support in the future.
I won't be able to start my project for some time and there's no hurry.
I started rewriting it in WPF with MahApps and it is decent enough but Widows only1
The last version of the app was pretty popular but the one thing that was a no go was lack of support for other platforms, in particular IOS, some Linux.

I've heard you can run WPF apps in Linux if you use .Net 5 instead of .Net Framework. Of course, you have to jump through some hoops to get kit there, but you might want to look at that.
(funny - when I first typed that it said, "I've heard you can ruin WPF apps in Linux...". Freudian slip?
