This is a great list. I feel I'm only scratching the surface when it comes to Typescript, and it would be awesome to have a place where we can see advanced examples of Typescript usage like this.

I've seen many projects where the typing is done so well that it can infer and include all the data I've fed into the TS-defined functions / classes, which is great for IDE autocompletion.

Not really a "project", but TypeScript's own type definitions for the DOM are a great example. Eg. document.createElement returns different subtypes of HTMLElement depending on the string argument (HTML tag name) it gets called with.

If you're a GraphQL developer, Pothos is the best example - all your user-defined types just fits in it like a glove 99% of the time. It definitely makes the most use of TS generics.

(I'm a bit sleepy, so this is the main one I can think of at the moment that I really enjoy using.)
