Other Info

Styling

• By default, this repository uses Next ^9.2.0 for styles, which includes native support for global CSS and CSS modules
• However, this version only allows global css to be in pages/_app.js, which can cause issues with external packages
• If you face this error, the solution is installing @zeit/next-css and adding it to next.config.js, however you cannot use css modules and global css together with this package (and it defaults to global).
