Description

Your idea

Currently we generate jsdoc files that then in turn are turned into a webpage, while this is useful, in my experience the best developer experience is gained using typescript (.d.ts) files + jsdoc comments, even when using plain .js files for the actual extensions.

I think it could also be nice to support .ts files directly. There wouldn't even need to be type checking etc. on the side of musescroe, I think it'd be valid to just ignore the types.

Problem to be solved

Make it easier to develop plugins using auto completion and other IDE features using the javascript LSP.
