Problem
Telegram users and developers lacked a centralized directory to discover bots, channels, groups, and resources. The ecosystem was fragmented with no easy way to find quality content or connect with like-minded users.
Solution
Telegramic became both a community for Telegram users and developers, and a comprehensive directory containing:
- Bots, channels, and groups
- Stickers and news
- Developer resources and API documentation
- Community forums and discussions
Used technologies
- GNU/Linux (Ubuntu)
- Python (Django)
- PostgreSQL
- Celery
- Bash, shell script
- Fomantic UI (Semantic UI fork)
- Telegram API (Telethon, Pyrogram)
- Telegram Bot API (python-telegram-bot)
