Need to overwrite Output Directory to deploy on Vercel

[vcidst]

When I forked and tried to deploy without making any changes, I got the following error

Error: The file "/vercel/path0/.next/routes-manifest.json" couldn't be found. This is normally caused by a misconfiguration in your project.

Please check the following, and reach out to support if you cannot resolve the problem:

1. If present, be sure your `build` script in "package.json" calls `next build`.  
2. Navigate to your project's settings in the Vercel dashboard, and verify that the "Build Command" is not overridden, or that it calls `next build`.  
3. Navigate to your project's settings in the Vercel dashboard, and verify that the "Output Directory" is not overridden. Note that `next export` does **not** require you change this setting, even if you customize the `next export` output directory.

I had to change the "Output Directory" to "build" in project settings on Vercel dashboard to deploy it successfully. I'm not familiar with next.js ecosystem but I realized this is defined in next.config.js.

If this is something non-standard, can we add this bit to the readme?

Hi! I suppose this is something related to vercel deployment settings rather than this repo code.
I usually set the same settings I use locally when settings up new app on vercel. Check Build and Output Settings section personally I always set it like this and it works for me

[jamland]

if this is helpful I can add it to README ofc

[vcidst]

Yes, that would be helpful. I wasn't aware of these configurations. I found out the fix from this Vercel error note, specifically the point 2.

These settings worked for me,

cool! I will add note

Thank you for this @vcidst !! It worked in my deployment.
