Description

Category: 3rd Party Integrations
#telegram#sidebar#chat#bots#channels

The Telegram Sidebar plugin embeds Telegram Web inside the sidebar, so chats stay beside your notes instead of in a separate window. It keeps the login session across restarts, lets you choose the Web K or Web A client, and can place the panel on either side of the workspace. You can set a default bot, user, channel or group to open on launch, then use commands to open the panel, reload it or jump straight to that chat. The plugin is desktop only because it depends on an Electron webview, and it stores only local plugin settings while Telegram handles messages and session data through its own web client.

The plugin only reads/writes local plugin settings (data.json) inside your vault.

git clone https://github.com/reallygood83/teledian.git
cd teledian
npm install
npm run dev     # watch mode
npm run build   # production build
