Hntg

Simple Telegram bot for converting HN links to sharable messages. A working instance of the bot can be found here: @HNLinkFmtBot.

Development

Make sure you have at least Elixir 1.15 installed.

# Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:chaychoong/hntg.git
cd hntg

# Install dependencies
mix deps.get

# Run the bot in an iex session
iex -S mix

Deployment

Run fly deploy to deploy the bot to Fly.io. You will need to set the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variable:

fly secrets set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_token_here

If Fly.io is out of the question, you can use the Dockerfile to build an OCI image and run it however you like.
