read-adviser-bot

A Telegram Bot which consumes/stores/gives the pages for you to read

FAQ

Available commands:

• /start
• /help
• /rnd (pick a random link from the saved list)

Important: Picking up links is a one-time action! If you make the Bot to pick any link for you, this link will be removed from the storage immediately.

Usage

1. Get (or retrieve created) the Telegram Bot token value.
2. Set it as an env variable called TG_TOKEN.
3. There are 3 ways in order to run the Telegram Bot service:

• make start-sqlite command in terminal (uses sqlite as a storage source)
• make start-files command in terminal (uses Gob encoded in files as a storage source)
• just make start (uses sqlite by default)

Hint: the make commands do build the binary and run the service whenever you invoke any of it, but you can also use a pre-built one here
