What advantages did you get from typescript? Seems like type safety is a huge trade off from what you lost by adding those amounts of complexity, especially when you’re not really utilising it.

You'd get more benefit if you're developing API where random others are consuming your code for them to use API properly.

But still, it can still save you from obvious mistakes even for a one man project.

I agree but I’d pick graphql for that instead of typescript.

Not sure TypeScript and GraphQL are mutually exclusive.

Honestly, I'm using it for it's marketability. I haven't yet found it particularly useful.
