Unable to Deploy to Vercel - Assuming SSR Issue

Hello,

It’s been a while since i have posted here, so I want to start off by congratulating the Frontity team for joining Automatic. I am sure that we can expect some great things for WordPress in the future.

As for my problem. I am trying to deploy a site to Vercel, but am running into an error at Build. The error that comes up is:

Command "npm run build" exited with 1

The full logs are here:

I was trying to get this package React Particles JS to work on the site when the error came up. It works fine in developer mode, but breaks on build as I have noticed. I am certain the problem lies with the package not supporting SSR, but haven’t been able to figure out how to get the package working with afterCSR or useEffect, which is how I assume I could get the package working even though it does not support SSR.

I am still quite new to this, and have spent many hours trying to wrap my head around if this can even be done, let alone how. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I would really appreciate any help on this problem! The repo for the site can be found here: Smart-Buildings.io
