Interesting concept, but it seems rather heavy. Installing it from npm pulls in over 400 packages, weighing in at about 60MB.

Try installing non-dev dependencies.. That's where a lot of your weight comes from, which is not in production.

So, I just did "npm install next react react-dom" which isn't bringing in next's development dependencies. Is there something that I'm missing?

    npm install next react react-dom --production

That gets me the exact same thing. And afaik what you get from --production is the default behavior when you install a package directly from npm.

What's the contents of your $HOME/.npmrc file? Because it shouldn't be unless you have `production = true` set.
