Demo screenshot? #48

Hello! I have checked out many telegram-IRC gateways/relays and was wondering about a demo screenshot of this before using it. What this means in particular: "1-to-1, 1-to-many and many-to-many linking IRC channels to Telegram groups/supergroups/channels"

In my wildest visions it would be fun to have actual IRC nicks per Telegram nick, does the feature above mean that, or something else?

Screenshot to README at least?

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! The channel-to-group linking could indeed be explained better, I'll try to work that one out.

As for the individual nicks: this would indeed be a cool feature, and ideally the best and clearest for all users on both the IRC as Telegram sides. Unfortunately this would basically mean a complete rewrite of the code because: a. Eggdrop does not support multiple connections to an IRC-server or -channel. This would mean replacing Eggdrop with an other IRC-client b. The Telegram API interface at api.telegram.com does not support multiple users. Possible solutions would be to use a mtproto client, or to create a seperate Telegram-bot instance for each user. Both require extensive reworks of the code In the short term I probably won't have the time to work on this; maybe in the future, and then in a seperate repository :)

As for the screenshot: thanks for the feedback, I'll add one!

Just out of curiosity: do you find any features missing in my Telegram-gateway that are present in other gateway implementations?
