Cool stuff, thanks for sharing :)

More of a question about the technology rather than the product itself: Considering that you're a single developer and the codebase is very small (~1000 LoC of source code), why did you go with TypeScript here rather than just JavaScript?

It's just easier and faster for me, as I've been working full mode with TS for the last 3 or 4 years, so it's hard/weird to go back to just javascript. Those strong types are a life saver!
