Static Post Bot

Telegram Bot for making posts to a static website

---

This was rather an test project for DOM Manipulation from NodeJS.
Not suitable for production/deployment.

How it works and what it does:

If you send the bot a message and you have permission to perform actions, you will be prompted with a menu where you can

• Create a new post
• List existing posts
• Delete a post
• Edit a post

Once an option is clicked, just follow the instructions of the bot.

Posts consist of an image and a text.
The pictures can be enlarged on click.

Here is a live demo to see what it looks like:
