Hey there 👋

I’ve created this **Telegram Bot** to help users to get notified when a new topic is released on any Discourse community:

> **[GitHub - barreeeiroo/TeBoRs at discourse](https://github.com/barreeeiroo/TeBoRs/tree/discourse)**
>
> discourse

_Check the Discourse branch_

A demo is avaliable [here](https://t.me/ThunkableChat):

The bot can be hosted in the same server as the community, so you won’t have to buy or request a new one!
