🤖 MyZubster now has a Telegram Bot for real‑time GitHub updates

Follow the entire development journey, commit by commit, on our public channel.
🧭 The idea

MyZubster is growing. The codebase is expanding, contributors are joining, and the ecosystem is becoming more active every day.

With all this motion, I wanted a simple, transparent way for anyone to follow what's happening in real time — without refreshing GitHub every five minutes.

So I built a Telegram bot that announces every push to the project's repositories directly into a public channel.

Result:
👉 @myzubster
📦 What the bot does

Every time a developer pushes code to any of the main MyZubster repositories, the bot sends a message to the channel with:

📦 Repository name

🔀 Branch (e.g. main)

👤 Pusher (GitHub username)

📝 Number of commits

🆕 Latest commit message

🔗 Link to view the changes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here's a real example:
text

📦 MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterWeb
🔀 Branch: main
👤 Pusher: DanielIoni-creator
📝 Commits: 1
🆕 Latest: feat: add Stats component

🔗 View changes: https://github.com/...

🛠️ How it works (tech stack)

The setup is lightweight and self‑hosted on the same VPS that runs the MyZubster Gateway:

Node.js + Express – receives GitHub webhooks

Axios – forwards messages to the Telegram Bot API

PM2 – keeps the service alive 24/7

GitHub Webhooks – triggered on every push event

All messages are sent in Markdown for clean formatting, and the bot is resilient to missing fields in the payload (e.g., if a commit doesn't include a specific field).
📊 Weekly statistics

The bot also sends a weekly summary every Monday at 9:00 CET with:

📈 Number of transactions (last 7 days)

💰 Total XMR volume

👤 New users

👥 Total users

This keeps the community informed about the project's growth and activity.
