Description
Hey,
First off, this is excellent! By far the most stable and straightforward solution for generating (in my situation, offline) apps from html. Great work :)
I've got a question though, is there a way to create some kind of loading/progress bar for the generated .exe? The app is nudging 400mb and can take a while to load on older machines with no indication that anything is happening. While this is mainly down to hardware issues my aim is just to try and improve the users' experience when they first get hold of the app, if possible.
Have you got any suggestions?
Cheers :)

Research direction
Start by tracing how the generated .exe loads the roughly 400 MB app and identify where a loading or progress indication could be introduced. Done means users see clear feedback while the generated application starts, including on older machines.
