Create separation between dependencies and devDependencies

Even next, react, react-dom in devDependencies? Shouldn't they be in dependencies? Am I misunderstanding something?

@JerryGreen Technically all dependencies are devDependencies in this case, since next exports a bundle that is "The" dependency of the final build.

That being said, we should create some separation just for semantics sake of:

• Dependencies used in development (linters, tests, etc.)
• Dependencies used to create the bundle (react, etc.)

Sorry for late reply for this issue.

Nextron copies whole node_modules of the dependencies when production build. (See electrion-builder.yml.)

But it uses next and the electron renderer process is built by next so we don't need node_modules.

So if you want to include react in the dependencies, to reduce the bundled size, please exclude react in the electron-builder.yml :)
