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:

The config is rather self explaining.
