Short: Native MTProto Telegram chat client Author: Michele Dipace Uploader: michele dipace kaffeine net (Michele Dipace) Type: comm/tcp Version: 0.0.5 Requires: AROS (x86_64) with a TCP/IP stack (AROSTCP) Architecture: i386-aros WHAT IS THIS? ------------- Telegram Amiga brings real, live Telegram chat to the Amiga -- not through a gateway, a proxy service or a web wrapper, but by speaking Telegram's own MTProto protocol natively, from scratch, on your machine. You sign in to your normal Telegram account, your chat list appears, and you talk to people (and they talk back) on hardware that may well be older than they are. Everything is built in: RSA, Diffie-Hellman, AES, SHA and the SRP two- factor login are implemented inside the program. Zero external dependencies -- no MUI, no ixemul.library, no AmiSSL, no TCP helper beyond your system's own bsdsocket stack. Two programs share one engine and one saved login: TelegramGUI - the native Intuition/GadTools GUI: chat list with real profile-picture avatars, message bubbles, scrollbars, mouse wheel, context menus. TelegramTUI - the text/console client, at home on a 68030 with a serial console or an ssh session. WHAT CAN I ACTUALLY DO WITH IT? ------------------------------- Read and send messages in private chats, groups and channels. Reply to a specific message (right-click it). Edit or delete your own messages. See real delivery state: one tick = sent, two blue ticks = read, updating live. See who is typing. Search for chats. Send messages from your desk at work and find the conversation already synced when you get home to the Amiga -- and the other way round. Message times follow your Amiga clock. Unread badges and your chat order survive restarts. The window remembers where you left it, and can open on its own screen if you prefer a dedicated page for chatting. GETTING STARTED --------------- 1. Copy this drawer to a WRITABLE volume (not from the archive directly). 2. Double-click TelegramGUI (or TelegramTUI on very low-end setups). 3. First run walks you through the normal Telegram login: phone number, the code Telegram sends you, and your cloud password if you use two-factor. That is all -- next time it goes straight to your chats. The login is stored in telegram-auth.bin next to the program. Treat that file like a house key: NEVER copy it around or share it -- anyone who has it has your Telegram session. Full EN and IT manuals are in the archive, including per-platform notes and troubleshooting. A COMMUNITY PROJECT ------------------- MIT licensed, non-commercial, written for the love of the platform. Bug reports and wishes are very welcome -- testers on real hardware (A1200s, A4000s, Pegasos, Sam, FPGA machines) are what moves this project forward.
