My personal Telegram bot

The key objective is to create some sort of automated notification system to stay up to date with various information sources (reddit, hacker news, rss feeds, tweets etc.) from one place.

The bot will gather stuff from various sources and push them to me on Telegram. All sorts of contents mashed up in one place.

The different credentials and configuration values would be stored as environment variables. I have a configure.sh file which exports the variables. The project includes a configure.sh.sample which you can use as a template. I am using Glide to manage the project dependencies. I recommend you use it too. You can install it from here: https://glide.sh/

The following steps should set the project up -

• mv configure.sh.sample configure.sh
• Edit configure.sh to update your credentials / details
• . ./configure.sh
• glide install
• go build -o bot
• ./bot
