๐ค MyZubster now has a Telegram Bot for realโtime GitHub updates
Follow the entire development journey, commit by commit, on our public channel.
๐งญ 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 โ 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:
๐ @myzubster
๐ฆ 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:
๐ฆ Repository name
๐ Branch (e.g. main)
๐ค Pusher (GitHub username)
๐ Number of commits
๐ Latest commit message
๐ Link to view the changes
Here's a real example:
text
๐ฆ MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterWeb
๐ Branch: main
๐ค Pusher: DanielIoni-creator
๐ Commits: 1
๐ Latest: feat: add Stats component
๐ View changes: https://github.com/...
๐ ๏ธ How it works (tech stack)
The setup is lightweight and selfโhosted on the same VPS that runs the MyZubster Gateway:
Node.js + Express โ receives GitHub webhooks
Axios โ forwards messages to the Telegram Bot API
PM2 โ keeps the service alive 24/7
GitHub Webhooks โ 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).
๐ What you can do with it
Follow the project live: see every new feature, fix, or refactor as it happens.
Stay updated on bounties: when a bounty PR is merged, you'll see it instantly.
Join the community: the channel is public โ anyone can watch and participate.
๐ Future plans
The bot will evolve:
Statistics โ automatically post weekly or monthly project stats (XMR volume, transactions, active users).
Bounty alerts โ when a new bounty is opened, the bot will announce it.
Issue highlights โ important issues or milestones can be pushed to the channel.

Ecco un articolo completo per dev.to, pensato per presentare il bot Telegram e il canale come strumenti di trasparenza e community per MyZubster.
