Telegram Web Apps: Web Apps Inside Telegram

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Telegram Web Apps are a platform similar to VK Mini Apps that lets developers build visual web interfaces inside Telegram instead of purely chat-based bot interactions. The talk reviews how these apps communicate with the developer’s server (not Telegram’s), discusses the trade-offs of that architecture, and presents up-to-date guidance, documentation and libraries based on the speaker’s experience as a former VK developer.
