Usage
Motivation
Some of the Telegram bots are a great example of stateful applications. Each chat is a state, where user can interact with own instance of the bot.
Default way to build sequential stateful bots is scenes or conversation patterns.
Tgex is a library that allows you to build sequential stateful bots in a more functional way. I did an POC using Gleam and it worked great. So I decided to implement it in Elixir.
Currently I don't have any plans to cover all the features of the Telegram API, but I'm open to suggestions and contributions.
