I usually write the declaration files that I need and submit to the repo. It's not that hard :) and your app feels kinda 'complete'.
I would take the opportunity to address the DefinitelyType repository issues.
Actually if anyone from TypeScript team reads this, they should know people there are struggling with that.
There are multiple flaws in gathering so much development code under one roof and a lot of discussion that goes nowhere [1][2][3]. What would be great if there is some sort of "native" support / recommendation of definition files.
