True, they recommend using the public folder to publish assets. I don't know if it's possible to use a custom folder. Probably yes but I didn't read anything yet about it.

Sorry I completely misinterpreted and misunderstood the premise of app hosting services like Heroku or DigitalOcean's new App Platform. I thought that you could still run shell commands on a specific app like npm start or something. I just found out that app hosting services in general offer little configurability, so yeah completely a misunderstanding on my part. It would be good to have documentation on how digitalocean's app platform detects what to do on hosting a new app, that way I can build my folder structure to make it run on digitaloceans app platform. I searched google and it doesnt appear to have such documentation.
