Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can choose to use E2E if desired. Why is the default so important?

Not on desktop Windows and GNU/Linux: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/871

Yes, the desktop client does not support it. If I want / need E2E I use my phone.

I'm not sure how this works, I installed the bot, sent /start No reply yet.

The bot is simply down. I would say 90% of all bots are down all the time and most of them completely go offline within the first 3 months. There are a lot of reasons for that. like - no revenue - made by beginners with no scalability in mind so it simply cant handle the traffic if a bot gets popular - lose of interest in developing if it doesn't "blow up" soon - every good idea is instantly copied especially if the…

I will definitely try to keep this up running for the longer term. Also I have not planned to make this monetary and keep it free from advertisement. I know initially things are slow, but I have jumped in to the game with long commitment. Also the source code is completely written by me and the motivation was to learn spring boot. I have not copied it :) And thanks for taking some time to review it. I really appreciate that.

The problem with disposable mail is that it gets blocked quite often. For example, I have a list with more than 3000 domains of disposable mail servers and you can’t register or comment with such a mail on saashub.com or libhunt.com

I will try to work on this part as well.

Good work. I was thinking about building a tool with opposite functionality - Getting chat messages delivered on email. Reason - To switch to a full-linux based phone, as clients for those platforms aren't available. I rarely use chat message so, intuitiveness is not the concern. But when I do get a message, I would like it to be delivered via an encrypted email service. Little thought went into this - Parsing messag…

Would you like to collaborate in this ? I would be happy to work with you on that.

First, this bot doesn't work. I was using this https://etlgr.io for disposable emails and it worked no stress. My Outlook app kept getting closed by android and I kept missing emails. So I created a disposable etlgr email to get bank notifications. Created a rule in Outlook.com to send balance notifications anytime money enters or leaves my account. Also a few times when discussing with clients, sent the email title…

Oh this is exactly the same service that i tried to build. Does this enforces privacy ? They have some pricy model, so seems like they would be definitely keeping some ads out their in free version. But yeah thanks for letting this know, i will check this out.

Telegram is such an underappreciated platform. It has many features other platforms lack, is reasonably privacy-friendly, more so than fb/whatsapp/etc, but not enough to sacrifice features or UX. The have an API ind both official and unofficial clients for almost all platforms, including command line and native, non-electron Windows (UWP). The client API is not easy to use, as crypto and similar features are involved…

> non-electron Windows (UWP) Oh? I thought it was Qt. I don't want to seem like I'm complaining for nothing as it's definitely much better than, say, Slack client, but I still feel like the Windows client is a bit "out of place". Like the task bar context menu looks different from all the other menus for other apps in there, with rounded corners etc.

It's Qt. GP might have mixed it up with Unigram client[0], which is UWP.

Thanks! There are other services like this out there, but they're all sketchy (the one I tried spams you with ads).

I don't have such intentions, the main reason to make this open source was this only. Even i hate ads, and I know every one does. Currently the bot is down, I will definitely work on this to get this fixed tomorrow. And once this is fixed the bot will be healthy.

I appreciate the offer, I'll help in the way I can; but my coding time is very limited due to the health conditions.
