    How do you guys solve the problem of conforming DB schema to TS interfaces (or vice versa depending on what you like)? Do you manually keep them in-sync (that's what I'm leaning in…

    What about having browser-defined UI instead? A site needs to access the location, for example there's a button on the page, 'Show my location', which is wrapped in a tag. When the…
