static files should be stored in public not src/lib/assets

(assuming nextjs)

i think you'd need a webpack loader for that?

you can add a prebuild script to move stuff from src/lib/assets to public, but [why not just save them in public](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/static-assets)?

images are a special case since they have default webpack loaders so you can save them anywhere and statically import them like importing js modules
