Build Eloqra
KINDAreplaces $4.99/mosaves $59.88/yrback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- a Telegram bot token from @BotFather
- an HTTPS host for the websocket · Telegram will not load a Mini App over plain http
- BotFather registration of the Mini App URL and menu button, if you want a real inbox rather than bot replies
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Eloqra. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- a real operator inbox · the Mini App console with a combined thread list across sites, unread badges, typing indicators and deep links from a notification straight into the conversation · bot replies cover one chat at a time, not five at once
- the week you spend learning Telegram's webview rather than writing features · initData HMAC auth, sizing from viewportStableHeight because dvh overshoots, two safe-area insets to stay clear of the status bar in fullscreen, and text selection disabled so copying a message needs a hand-rolled long-press
- a free tier · you would be spending days plus a monthly VPS bill to replace something that costs nothing for one site
- everything that isn't the happy path · socket reconnects, duplicate sends, message ordering on flaky mobile networks, Telegram rate limits and retry queues, bot token rotation
- always-on hosting · your widget is dead whenever your box, your TLS cert, or your websocket is, and a chat that silently stops connecting reads to visitors as you ignoring them
