Daily Meeting Telegram Bot

A Telegram bot that helps you conduct daily (or at least regular) meetings.

Motivation

• I have participated in too many projects that delivered less than they could have due to a lack of regular work from myself and my teammates.
• I want a bot to remind me that I actually have to work on workdays.
• I want everyone on my team to know each other's workdays.
• In the morning, I don't care enough to ask my teammates about their progress, plans, and problems, so I want a bot to do that for me.
• When I do care later, I can read through my teammates' messages and help them resolve their problems.
