Fp-ts and io-ts, best examples of what functional programming along with strict type safety can achieve. The source code is a pleasure to read and explore

The author also writes some great articles on category theory that is approachable to TS developers.

I am working on a Node/browser OS in TypeScript to solve for decentralization/peer-to-peer relations if you want to check that out.

https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems

Selling points:

* No frameworks and minimal dependencies

* The GUI loads in the browser with full state restoration in about 260ms in Chrome.

* Full peer to peer file system access

* Original WebSocket service support faster than the popular NPM packages (ws, socket.io)

* Peer-to-peer end-to-end test automation in the browser that is faster and easier than the big browser test automation applications (puppeteer, playwrite)

* I am currently working on a streaming command terminal for the browser for support for for things like vim and irssi. The current experimental terminal only supports basic command input/output

I want to ask the same question for Python and Go. I'd love to see some quality OSS using Python or Go and contribute to them if I can.

I recommend to look at such project on go

tRPC, because you can learn a lot of type-inference tricks using generics and proxies https://github.com/trpc/trpc

tRPC is awesome, but it will teach you about typescript wizardry and how to write a library, not how to write an application.

I work on Linen https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev its an open source Slack alternative. Its a full stack typescript app. We do a mono repo with typesharing between both client and backend. If you are looking for a realworld typescript SAAS app this would be good
