tweb VS Telegram

https://web.telegram.org/k/

the writers are mathematicians I guess, russian minimalists... I remember I checked their site and it did not seem to use bloated stuff

compiled native UX code may be less kb than minimized js but actually I have never seen comparisons and I do not know much about UX programming in java, c++, android-java or swift or the like

however, a website can dynamically load (can, 99% do not make use of it) just in time what you need (or as a compromose, preload the next possible steps)... UX code, app code anything

you can make the client download always the very necessary code on its user journey... even UX code, app code...

what I find better in native is the built in bot protection :)

Today tried to login into Telegram. Gone at https://web.telegram.org/k/, entered my phone number, clicked "next" and... It's hanging with "please wait...".

Head over to https://web.telegram.org/k/ and log in with your smartphone. Use the search bar to search for “BotFather”.

For some reason not all sites are shown in cookies list (e.g. web.telegram.org/k, 4channel.org/sp/) is there any other way I can clean cookies of those sites?

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
