## The idea behind the example
This example show how you can use Next.js inside an Electron application to avoid a lot of configuration, use Next.js router as view and use server-render to speed up the initial render of the application.
For development it's going to run a HTTP server and let Next.js handle routing. In production it use `next export` to pre-generate HTML static files and use them in your app instead of running an HTTP server.
You can create the production app using `npm run dist`.
