Telegram Developer Ecosystem

Many already know that in the Telegram messenger, in addition to direct communication between two people, other useful tools are also implemented:

• Channels are a kind of symbiosis of messages and mailing lists, where the author or a group of authors appeal to their audience, but the audience cannot influence the content of the channel.
• Groups are peculiar chats between a large number of users, where each participant is a full representative of the community and can influence the agenda.
• Bots - special Telegram accounts created to automatically process and send messages are often used for integration with services.

The other day in the open spaces of Github, I came across a list of channels, groups, bots in Telegram, which is updated directly by developers using this joint development project. Under the cut, you can see the IT selection itself, from which everyone can choose something interesting for themselves.
