Also want to note you that if somebody unfamiliar with flow-typed want to use it, we need to put a bit more documentation, like:

npm install -g reasonably-typed
npm install -g flow-typed
npm install --save-dev flow-bin
touch .flowconfig
flow-typed install [email protected]
retyped compile --flow-typed

@stereobooster This issue is more about what the top issues compiling definitions from FlowTyped are 🙂 If you want to help out with the docs that'd be awesome, or even better add a mode to automatically download and compile from FlowTyped!
