Problem

The app currently relies on prop-types for runtime prop validation. However, the prop-types package has been deprecated and archived as of 2024. Continuing to use it introduces long-term maintainability and tooling issues, especially as the broader ecosystem moves toward TypeScript for static type checking.

Proposed Solution

Migrate the codebase from JavaScript with prop-types to TypeScript with full static type definitions. This includes updating all components to .tsx files and replacing all prop-types declarations with proper TypeScript interfaces.

The Electron version has already been made compatible with TypeScript using this template, enabling a unified codebase for both web and desktop builds.

Alternatives Considered

• Separate repositories for web and Electron versions: Initially considered, but rejected in favor of a monorepo approach for better maintainability, shared logic, and development efficiency.

Scope of Work

• Migrate JavaScript (.js) files to TypeScript (.ts)

• Remove all prop-types usage

• Update build configuration for both web and Electron targets

• Ensure compatibility with existing Electron setup

• Unify types to serve as a single source of truth
