Describe the bug

The Readme on the project seems out of date. For example, it says at the project root to run npm run initialize, which is not a thing. In any event, if you follow the example readme, the project does not run as-is. It gives me this error:

{
  "message": "Network error - this could be related to CORS or an incorrect URL set on the `NEXT_PUBLIC_ORY_SDK_URL` environment variable. Please check out the Ory documentation for more information: https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/local-development"
}

The referenced document in that error message is also inconsistent and does not provide a solution.

The possibility that it is a CORS error seems low because I cloned the whole elements repo, did a clean:build from the root and then tried the examples. I believe I got one or two of the examples to work, but the only one that seems to demonstrate custom styling is the nextjs-spa, so I am keen to get this working.

Reproducing the bug

Follow the Readme in the nextjs-spa example.
