Would this be something that would like to be added via config? maybe next.config? If so, I can take a look at this?

Yep. That's the api we could do it.

Im having a look at this now. Is there any standards or practices against config? For sake of testing it out im running the following in next.config:

module.exports = {
  options: {
    dest: 'dist'
  }
}

Have any other ideas?

I'd like to see it like this:

module.exports = {
  options: {
    dist: '.next'
  }
}

no worries, got some of it done last night. WIll continue with it tonight 👍

Pr incoming for this; just updating documentation.

@abstractpoint @arunoda #1599 Opened a PR for it; let me know if any issues.
Cheers

@abstractpoint this is now merged if you want to try on latest master.

@alexnewmannn Working great, super useful. Thank you for putting in the time! (Still battling with Firebase being too slow running next, but that's not really related)
