“Escaping” Next.js to access the browser

To work around the "ReferenceError: window is not defined" error when trying to add event listeners or access DOM variables outside of a Next.js application, developers can use the React hook `useEffect`. This hook allows for accessing the browser's `window` object and rendering components into specific DOM nodes. While this technique may seem limited in its applications, it can be useful in specific scenarios such as using external JavaScript libraries or adding animations to a project.
