Turn Telegram into your AI Terminal: Introducing Telegram Coding Bridge (Now Open Source!)

Have you ever needed to quickly drop a file onto your local machine, restart a dev server, or even ask an AI to refactor a file while you're away from your desk? I just open-sourced Telegram Coding Bridge, a self-hosted bot that connects Telegram directly to your Mac. ✨ Key Features: Trigger Aider from your phone: It hooks into aider and Gemini 2.5. You can text your bot to edit, write, and debug your local code files, and watch the git commits roll in. Persistent Shell: Send commands exactly as you would in Terminal (e.g., /shell npm run dev). Double-click setup: I made a 3-step setup script that installs dependencies, provisions a virtual environment, and handles API keys so you don't have to fiddle with the terminal just to start the bot. Secure: Driven by your specific Telegram User ID. If anyone else messages the bot, they get ignored. It's completely free and open source. Let me know what you think of the architecture or if you have any feature requests! 🔗 GitHub Repository: [Git
