The idea behind the example

This example show how to export to static HTML files your Next.js application fetching data from an API to generate a dynamic list of pages. This use a custom Express server in development to configure custom routing and then generate a map of pages to export for production.

When trying to run npm start it will build and export your pages into the out folder and serve them on localhost:5000.
