Plans 📆

• Migrating the backend API to TypeScript (This has been in our backlog for toooo long, and the backend is getting more & more complicated with each new feature we add)

Progress ✅

• So there has been some good progress so far, but....

Problems ✋

• This migration is proving to be harder than what I expected.

  There is a problem after problem after problem.

• Most of them are related somehow to the netlify dev tool.
  Because it feels like this tool is only able to handle simple functions

• The latest problem that I've been struggling with is because of the invoices npm package used in our voting feature.
  It has a dependency on tiny-scep251k, and that package seems to use webassembly somewhere, and this is not handled well by Netlify...

• 

  I'm looking into solutions for this.

  • Maybe we can use an alternative for invoices package??
    If someone knows a good alternative, please let me know.
