Vue framework is in devDependencies #10

Hi, can you explain why application frameworks like vue or electron are listed in devDependencies instead of dependencies? That seem a bit unexpected.

Thanks

Frameworks like vue are used for rendering process development. For renderers, it is usually fully bundle, so dependencies are best installed in devDependencies. This makes the final package more smaller. More detail: https://electron-vite.org/guide/dev.html#dependencies-vs-devdependencies
