Here's the kicker: none of this is dead code. Vendor libraries alone take 28MB. Apparently one of the second order effects of rolling your own components is having enormous bundles because there's no incentive to minimize them. 3rd party libraries on the other hand usually go out of their way to be as small as possible. I'm doing my best not to be sarcastic about this. EDIT: we treeshake the bejesus out of it, but it…
What tech do you use? Also which kind of app is it? Does it have some special feature that causes the code bloat, or is it just lots of screens?

This is really funny, it even lets you download it. I'm not familiar enough with JavaScript, is this modern or obsolete JS?
But the premise still stands, just needs more feature checkboxes :)
