rick42, do you want to add that into vip or add that to emacs?
<freemint>
Is seombody here interested/using Telegram?
<Regenaxer>
cool
<freemint>
I was looking at the Telegram API and adding a minimal PicoLisp backend would be very easy.
<freemint>
if there is some interest in the community i would push it a bit higher on my priority list and i would like to discuss what is wanted
<Regenaxer>
Sounds very interesting! What could be done with the Telegram API?
<Regenaxer>
However, I would use Briar in the future and not stat with yet another messenger
<freemint>
send messages to person and groups on telegram with *rich* content (pictures, videos, html5 games(?)), do questionaires (constraint user input, like only a number, or from a few choices), make payments.
<rick42>
freemint: it's already in emacs. the window in the foreground is an emacs buffer; in the background is the browser's (Firefox in this case) rendering of the html exported by emacs (from that source in the emacs window).
<freemint>
It is a simple web api, which allows to interact with a powerful client (the telegram app)
<rick42>
briar looks very cool
<Regenaxer>
yeah
<razzy>
i am having blast with picolisp :]
<razzy>
colapse-able code did the trick for me.
<Regenaxer>
What kind of blast?
<razzy>
through code.
<Regenaxer>
good :)
<freemint>
my ideas are for the telegram bot are 1. dumb interface (message "bla") '*Group1) 2. an http_server like setup (text is parsed in to commands triggering functions) 3. 2 but with addtional times/conditions/IFTT(if this then that) to make use out the "push" side of messaging and domain specific language to manage all that.
<Regenaxer>
Dumb interface is the most useful I believe
<freemint>
or to express in existing picolisp analoges: 1. 'client 2. @lib/http.l 3. @lib/form.l
<freemint>
Well a 'client like wrapper is not very "interesting" if somebody has strong ideas about a Telegram bot send them even when i am not online. If not it ends up in the queue of ideas.
