I appreciate the PR but I am not sure I want that jsconfig (which won't work because has comments) and not sure if I want typings for this project.

i've fixed the jsconfig.json file that was created by vscode and added typings.json config for intellisense.
feel free to merge or close this PR.

cheers.

I will accept a PR where dependencies are updated but not the typings nor the jsconfig. That can be added for you locally for your project.

as you prefer, done.

Also not that npm-check, sorry.

i've stripped away npm-check. (btw what's wrong with that?)

npm-check is better installed globally so you can npm-check any project of yours. Better than having to install it by hand to every project.

i'm against to global deps. (what if i have two project with different semver compatibility of a certain tool/library?)

i prefer the $PATH approach, i.e.

 $ export $PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin

and installing everything locally.

I agree on that, but is not the case of this tool.
