GNOME 43 extension development with GJS is painful — no autocomplete, poor docs, and hard debugging 🥵.

So I built GJS TypeBoost: a simple TypeScript-based setup that gives you:

Autocomplete + IntelliSense with GJS, St, Clutter, GLib, GTK

Clean project structure (src/, dist/, Makefile)

Type-safe development in VSCode

Easy build + install using make

Perfect if you’re tired of guessing types and hunting docs.

I’m still a beginner developer, so there might be bugs or mistakes in the code — feel free to open issues or suggest improvements 😊.
