Suggestion: community wiki or cookbooks for getting started on common development envs

Was excited to see the Typescript support announced in Sublime Text 4.

Eventually got everything working well but it took a lot of Googling, searching/parsing of forum posts, and reading through plugin docs to understand that with ST4 I probably want LSP, LSP-TypeScript, SublimeLinter, and sublimelinter-eslint packages in addition to the stock syntax support...but not the TypeScript package.

Eventually was able to get where I wanted, but it required a lot of searching and acronym decoding. It would be nice if there was a wiki or set of cookbooks for canonical "getting started" intro guides + suggested practices! It's hard sometimes to understand pros/cons of different approaches and whether they are needed for ST3 or ST4.

If my memory servers, @wbond said that should go unofficial docs. Or at least, there won't be official recommendation.

The canonical getting started into guides and suggested practices from our perspective is to use stock Sublime Text and make any changes/configurations you personally desire. I personally have never use LSP when working with TypeScript or any other language. As such this is definitely something for the unofficial docs.

Thanks for the pointer, didn't realize these unofficial community docs existed! Agreed that this sort of guidance shouldn't be an "official" recommendation and so unofficial docs is the right home.

I do think that that for a new Sublime user, navigating all of the different Package Control options can be challenging.

It turns out an effort for this sort of documentation was already underway in sublimetext-io/docs.sublimetext.io#24 so took a stab at adding this sort of documentation for TypeScript in sublimetext-io/docs.sublimetext.io#54
