Now its such a hassle to fix this where I think it can be easily workaround.  Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2025-04-21 Hi @midego1, I understand your use case. For this the custom domain setup is best. However, you can always go to the Vercel Project and copy the domain for this project (even choose a custom `.vercel.app` domain). Midego1 (@midego1) · 2025-04-21 But this will not be available if you cannot deploy, correct? Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2025-04-21 · ♥ 1 You should be able to add custom Vercel domain to the project even for failed builds. Can you try and share if that works.
