First off, thanks for the PR!

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure we should include this in our Readme as we have no control over the typescript definitions (cf #28).

Furthermore, no current plotly.js team member has any experience using typescript, so we can't really put our stamp-of-approval on them.

At the very least, I don't think we should include typescript info in the "Quick start options" section. Personally, I think this belongs in a new section below "Building plotly.js".

We could add a section that says something like "Related third-party projects" or something and list the TS thing there? I agree we don't want to stamp our approval to the TS typings at this time, not because they're bad, but because we can't commit to maintaining them.

Thank you, @etpinard and @nicolaskruchten, for your review and comments. I agree that having a separate section for 3rd party contribution is more adequate, and addressed this in the commit f5e3329.

@simon04 could you please merge master into this branch and resolve the conflict?

This pull request has been sitting for a while, so I would like to close it as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories. I've assigned it to myself to keep track of it; I'll wait until 2024-06-17 for someone to say it's still relevant and they'll to take it on, and otherwise I will close it then. Thanks - @gvwilson
