🌟 Telegramic - social Telegram directory

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)
