You should make a Telegram bot

Shipped a starter template for Telegram bots on Cloudflare Workers, using much of the code from Ellipsis, but making the D1 database optional. It creates a bot that acts as an interface to Claude, using the Anthropic API.

The goal was to keep initial setup as straightforward as possible (you should be able to run this without creating a local copy of the code), and I plan to make all future features work the same way. There’s tension between minimalism and demoing a full-featured app though.
