I think telegram is one of the operating systems of the future, most just haven't realized it yet.
Using their API and System to develop apps is a breath of fresh air after years of bad and broken web APIs, non portable and cluttered native GUI frameworks, and app development riddled with incidental complexity.
They give you everything you need, including payment, custom keyboards, embedded media, room access. But in a super straightforward simple way.
It's just ridiculous how quickly you can iterate on apps that use telegram as their frontend, so much cuft is left behind.
Telegram allows you to write apps that solve real needs, in a humane way.
And as a dev that gives me hope that our industry isn't lost just yet.
