Telegram VS td

Also, if you want to go hardcore: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram

Compare https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commits/main with https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/commits/master

Here's a good example https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/ChatActivity.java

Forkgram have more features, but not a fork of Telegram-FOSS, is based on official source witch can contain some proprietary blobs

For a couple of updates already I've been noticing this behavior on my Android phone. Telegram support has been silent unsurprisingly, so I've considered opening an issue directly on github, but repo for android client doesn't allow this. I'm out of ideas how to bring attention to this, because I know other android users with the same issue so it's not user-specific

I see this huge C++ file and I raise you a Java file that's so enormous github refuses to render it: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

— Do not use checkboxes and radio buttons in cells. Due to the complex xml structure and internal layers coloring, simple initialization of the checkbox on old phones took a very long time. As a solution, either use the checkbox images (but then they will be without animation), or use a custom checkbox, as for example telegram uses https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/src/main/java/org/telegram/ui/Components/CheckBoxSquare.java Made by analogy on kotlin: https://github.com/ivan200/buyer/blob/master/app/src/main/java/app/simple/buyer/util/views/CheckBoxSquare.kt

Add to build.gradle(:app) android - see, https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/1904

Tdlib pre-built library. Android or build from scratch, see TDLib Android example

It would be a good idea for Proton to write Drive using something similar to Telegram's https://github.com/tdlib/td. That way they could write their official clients more easily, and third party clients could be created with a lot of the work done.

https://github.com/tdlib/td is it possible to use td with golang

The problem there is mostly with how they're doing releases for tdlib: They create proper releases for major versions (like 1.7.0, 1.8.0), and then nothing for all for point releases (like 1.7.1), not even git tags - they're seeing those releases as development releases. They do a lot of (breaking) changes and new features between releases - so while distributions might want to stick with proper releases others might want to follow git (and the author is following git with his development branch).

tdlib, but it's huge

I think taking advantage of https://github.com/tdlib/td (telegrams library) to build some backup mechanism around it would be the best way forward.
