       How do I use postMessage in a type safe way?

       Right now my approach uses generics to define messages as interfaces which describe functions that can listen to a given messageThis works well but is complicated and I was wondering if there was a better method I could use instead

       @BadAtNames Some context would be helpful. :blobfoxlaughsweat: Like, what's postMessage? What is your project even about? Is the code available somewhere so I can view it?

       @Feuerfuchs don't have my laptop with me but it's a webextension, using the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/sendMessage api which is similiar to the window.postmessage api, except it's connectionless and allows you to return promises. I was asking for postmessage since I assumed it was more commonly used and I could use whatever approach worked for postmessage here too
