Super excited about this!!

If we go after the crypto market, Telegram is a natural first integration imho

[mikhail-bot]

this could be helpful https://pypi.org/project/telegram-export/

@mikhail-bot Is there a reason crypto people use Telegram and not Signal?

Signal would be interesting as the signal protocol is now built into Facebook and WhatsApp.

[mikhail-bot]

Lol I do not know either, but it is what it is haha.

Signal is more secure but it doesnt have huge communities like telegram

[montyanderson]

That makes sense, I'll look into how Telegram works.

[montyanderson]

Apps can intergrate with Telegram via bots which provide an API over http.

This seems like a good way to integrate, users can just add the nile bot and set it up to add a tab on their nile.

In term of streams, I'm thinking of channels of json objects - maybe we should make a simple standard schema for a 'chunk'?

{
	"type": "text",
	"content": "User A: Hello!"
}

That works for now. I assume source and timestamp and stored somewhere else? Shawn

Yeah, although on second thought let's add it in.

{
	"type": "text",
	"content": "User A: Hello!",
        "date": 1544551774794,
        "source": "telegram"
}

I'm thinking we should maybe make some generic types, for instance a Message type which could display imported Telegram (or Slack etc) messages.

Something like:

{
	"type": "message",
	"content": {
                "user": "Monty",
                "text": "Hello",
                "url": "http://telegram.com/"
        },
        "date": 1544551774794,
        "source": "telegram"
}

I.e. any stream could push generic 'Message' types, and they would display correctly in the UI, even if you can't easily interact with them.
