TSFIX was born out of my own frustration with the current ESM situation in TypeScript. And I'm sharing it hoping it might save others the time and headaches I went through.
Basically it solves three fundamental TypeScript frustrations:
1. TypeScript's compiler (`tsc`) can't produce valid ESM output
2. Using bundlers to fix ESM output creates misalignment with type definitions
3. We should be able to use `.ts` extensions in our source files since that's what they actually are!
It's a simple post-build tool that:
- Transforms `tsc` output into valid ESM by adding proper extensions
- Ensures your type definitions match your actual code structure
After 8+ years of open TypeScript issues, I got tired of waiting for a proper solution.

P.S. Did you know none of the top 100 TypeScript projects on GitHub use `tsc` for production builds?
