proposals
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: Quietone – search audio and video by transcript
Hey. This is my first electron app. It is called Quietone and I just thought it would be cool to navigate and manipulate videos by their transcript because searching through videos for the things I was looking for was very slow otherwise.
I used whisper.cpp to do the transcribing. It has held up really well. The tiny model (the fastest one) can transcribe 2 hours of video in a couple of minutes on my m2 mac mini and the accurate of even the tiny model is pretty good.
I used Electron Forge to package the app for different operating systems and distribution channels. There are no guides on the internet on how to do that properly so that took quite a bit of time to figure out.
At multiple stages I had to look through source code of Electron Forge's dependencies to figure out how I was supposed to use it to correctly sign the app for the mac app store.
I made this app using the tools I like to use, which is not very typical. I use straight javascript, no transpiling, and I wrote every single library myself from the ORM https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/flyweight to the front-end framework, which is a thin wrapper over web components.
Oh yeah, Electron recently started supporting esm, but Electron Forge doesn't fully support it so I had to use esbuild to compile to cjs just for the packaging step.
I use events to make everything change in real-time in the UI. Umm... oh yeah I did include yt-dlp features but had to remove that for the store versions.
It is available on the mac store, and soon on the windows store. There is also a trial you can download. The windows store experience is not very polished compared to the mac store. I was amazed that there are humans reviewers looking through everything I upload. hah.
Anyway, I have to go find a job now and hope my username doesn't check out. Bye. Thanks for reading my blog.

Is TypeScript actually worth It?
I wrote https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/flyweight in JavaScript, not TypeScript. It generates TypeScript declaration files as it types SQL, which helps with intellisense support in VSCode. That is the only reason I use TypeScript.
I don't like TypeScript though, and would never write anything in it. I have a long history with C# and I came to conclusions about this topic a long time ago. I just prefer writing JavaScript, it is more fun and more productive.
Flyweight is quite a complex library. It parses arbitrarily complex SQL. This is more complex than most of the things people work on and claim they need static typing. It isn't millions of lines of code, but often those codebases aren't complex, they are just many independent components that in themselves are not that complex.
The amount of time I spend having to update the TypeScript aspect of my library is really quite annoying. Also, with regards to your point about libraries not including type information - this is also true for the actual native APIs in the browser and so on as well. For example, TypeScript doesn't recognise the "indices" property of regular expression matches.

Time, Space and Complexity
The proposal of "syntactic tail calls" to provide an explicit syntax for tail calls, co-championed by committee members from Mozilla (responsible for SpiderMonkey, the engine of Firefox) and Microsoft, was a response to these concerns. However, this proposal is now listed among the TC39's inactive proposals, possibly due to diminished interest, which may stem from the infrequent use of tail recursive functions in JavaScript.

At Least Skim The Manual
Then there are proposals for new features. Some proposals move through quickly, though some of these will never make it into the spec. They can be available months or years in advance through Babel plugins and other tools. Be aware that these allow you to write code that may never become valid JavaScript, but they can be useful for simplicity and readability, so long as you understand the requirements.

Javascript doubt
The latest version of the ECMAScript standard is referred to as ES2022. However, there are almost always something new cooking, which you can use (ESNext) if yo have a javascript engine that implements it, or if you use a polyfill which implements some particular feature for earlier javascript engines.
