Correspondence Through Steem

<hr /> <p dir="auto">I realize there are already tools like esteem and busy that let you see replies on your phone and even respond; however, I wanted to provide a different user experience. More than anything, for myself, I needed a more streamlined experience than I was getting via esteem. <p dir="auto">That's what this does. It allows me to have a conversation with users engaging my blog on steemit. I can now correspond just like I would in normal text messaging, but with steemit replies. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183253/e3b8pt2x6x3hqhbhvaun.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183253/e3b8pt2x6x3hqhbhvaun.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183253/e3b8pt2x6x3hqhbhvaun.png 2x" /> <h3>Mobile versions also work <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183315/vbxm404d0m4c5kinl2qy.png" alt="image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183315/vbxm404d0m4c5kinl2qy.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519183315/vbxm404d0m4c5kinl2qy.png 2x" /> <h2>Usage <p dir="auto">To get up and running, just open a conversation in Telegram with <code>@steem-replies <p dir="auto">Then run the following command: <pre><code>/start <your steem name> <your steem posting private key> <p dir="auto">Once you have done this, the bot will take care of the rest. Your key is not saved or stored anywhere. When the bot restarts, you need to run the /start command again because your conversation will no longer exist (including any of your information). <h2>Technology Stack <p dir="auto">Telegram Reply Steem Bot is written in Typescript using the <code>telegraf plugin. All dependencies are encapsulated and prebuilt in the Docker container. <h2>Running <p dir="auto">The bot itself is built into a docker image. You can run your own by simply executing: <pre><code>docker run --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e BOT_TOKEN=$BOT_TOKEN r351574nc3/telegram-reply-steem-bot:latest` <p dir="auto">The <code>BOT_TOKEN is issued to you through telegram as a way of authenticating with their api. <h3>Installing on a Kubernetes cluster <p dir="auto">Getting running in a k8s cluster is easy. Use the helm chart <pre><code>helm install orchestration/charts/telegram-reply-steem-bot --set steem.name=$STEEM_NAME --set steem.bot_token=$BOT_TOKEN <h1>Roadmap <hr /> <p dir="auto">Tentative upcoming features <ul> <li>Upvoting replies from telegram <li>Sending voice messages/video through telegram <li>Sending stickers and images through telegram <h1>Contributing <hr /> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/r351574nc3/we-resist-bot/pulls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Submit Pull Request <li><a href="https://github.com/r351574nc3/we-resist-bot/issues" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Submit Issue <p dir="auto"><a href="https://discord.gg/ZVXCmcW" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">r351574nc3#7016 on discord <p dir="auto"><a href="https://t.me/joinchat/G3o-LBKYr7FPwFP-gaeqFg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Steem Development on Telegram <p dir="auto"><br /><hr /><em>Posted on <a href="https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@r351574nc3/new-project-telegram-reply-steem-bot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Utopian.io - Rewarding Open Source Contributors<hr /><p>
