Telegram Desktop is the official client for Telegram Messenger. It's also open-source, the source code is available Github. We'll be installing Telegram Desktop from AUR on Arch based Linux distros, there is a community package called telegram-desktop that pretty much automate the installation process for us.

Instead of using Telegram bot frameworks like telegraf.js and node-telegram-bot-api, I created a Telegram sender with less than 100 lines of code in Node.js to simply send notifications to myself. And there is nothing wrong with using a full-featured framework, but building your own is definitely easier to maintenance.
