+# mypy will be incrementally added to the project
+# for some reason mypy gives different output if a project is installed in editable mode

+# don't bother with checking tests yet
+
+# the initial goal is to add in as much as possible, without editing any source files
+# adding # type: ignore comments everywhere is messy and I'd rather it be used as a last
+# resort to suppress a one-off in an otherwise fully typed file
+# see https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/common_issues.html for a list of common fixes
+# but preferably edit the config file to filter out broken stuff, rather than per line edits
+# the advantage with editing the config rather than suppressing things inline is that there is
+# one location to look at in regards to how mypy behaves, and random parts of the code won't be
+# ignored and forgotten about due to scattered comments that locally disable type checking
