Important TypeScript Usage

This project comes with support for TypeScript but electron-compile has a bug that does not allow for default exports at the moment.

export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
}

I have noted this as an issue and created a pull request with electron-compilers which is a dependency.
