Feedback Bot

A free and open-source Telegram Bot that allows you to anonymously chat with multiple users in one Telegram Chat.

When a new user interacts with the Feedback Bot by sending a message, the bot forwards the message to a specific topic dedicated to that user within the Feedback Chat. If a topic for the user does not already exist, the bot creates a new one. This ensures that each user's message is organized in its own topic, allowing for clear and efficient interaction.

Created and supported by Russian IT Union.
