04/09/2021, 1:46 PMAt some point probably makes sense to create a lib to keep all the types for events in one place

04/09/2021, 1:49 PMIt’s turned on in dev, but I haven’t found it all that useful

04/09/2021, 1:52 PMHere’s my registry dashboard for an app that’s been running awhile. There are pages of duplicates, and I’m not sure exactly how to consume these

04/09/2021, 1:53 PMI guess I could download typescript types from it, and put it in my codebase…but would rather just have the types inferred from usage.

04/09/2021, 1:54 PMNow that you mention 'not finding it useful' I checked an assumption I had ... it's just a registry
Damjan
04/09/2021, 1:54 PMI thought if you use the registry it also validates events
Damjan
04/09/2021, 1:54 PMso yeah, would agree then ... not all that useful

04/09/2021, 1:54 PMYeah that’d be useful - or even anomaly detection once you’ve told it - here’s what this event should look like
