nextron Simplest way to upgrade existing nextron?

Hey there! Thank you for all of your incredible and wonderful work.

My team loves me for having implemented Nextron into our repo. In turn, I remind and tell them about the fact that it's the maintainers of Nextron they should be loving :)

We do have a question, however:

What is the most straightforward way to update/upgrade our nextron implementation? :)

Thank you!

@saltyshiomix - any potential advice? :)

Hi, @armenr !

Thank you for your testing nextron and your question!

Sorry I have no any ideas for now, because nextron is an app generator. But I think it's so wonderful if it can check for updates and show diffs to patch like Git.

Anyway, I'll investigate the implementation this month 👍

How about making nextron a module like create-react-app, electron-webpack or preact-cli ? It will make upgrades easier.

create-nextron-app and nextron can be like create-react-app and react-scripts.

The helpers functions can be bundled into nextron/helpers or something, like next/link.

First of all, thanks for the well structured code. It was really easy going through it.

I have a working draft here. Please have a look at it.

No more path rewriting.
Can use next/link and <a> tags.
No more full page reloads on page transition (SPA like behaviour).
Made dev and build commands part of nextron package, so that they can be updated independently.
Moved next,react & react-dom to devDependencies -> dmg size reduced by ~9MB.
