Pretty sure this project is Dead. I did away with all the bot libraries (Except requests). We are supporting about 611 Telegram bots using that. The protocol isn't that hard although it is poorly put together and has lots of weird messages you end up handling specially. Messages come in from telegram via a view that serves for all bots. It then has a handler that deals with the information and responds accordingly. Most of what we do with the bots is outbound traffic anyway so if you have a fairly conversational bot, you might be able to benefit from a library.

@boatcoder The project is still useful and widely used. It is a template project to be changed by anyone according to the Telegram bot idea they have.

If you have any ideas on how the codebase / documentation / architecture approach can be improved, please create a PR.

Demo bot is not working because I killed the Digital Ocean server where it was hosted. It would be great to host the bot somewhere on Heroku
