Hi, @zlatancn!

Thanks for providing your repository, this helps a lot.

1. Your frontend/package.json looks correct!
2. Make sure your root package.json has the correct build script:

"build": "npm install && cd frontend && npm install && npm run build"

3. Verify Vercel project settings. It should be something:

• Framework Preset: Vite
• Build Command: npm run build
• Output Directory: frontend/dist

5. Check that frontend/.gitignore includes node_modules and dist.
6. Commit and push any changes, then try deploying again.

Can you give that a go?

I also wanted to make sure that you were aware of Vercel CLI. Might be helpful when testing what deployment would be like before deploying and catching errors!

Thank you! I have tried all things you list, but it still failed for the same issue.
