Nice idea. Will test it out.

Telegram is one of my bets on a good, sane messaging platform for the future (vector/matrix is another, tent and even twitter used to be)

Why? It was made by VK (russian Facebook) devs and there are many concerns about its security.

Is there any way to see the source code?

I have source up for a similar bot in C# - https://github.com/ScottRFrost/TelegramBot

It's pretty quick and dirty, but enough that you get the idea. It doesn't read HN, but it reads Beer Advocate, Bing, Calorie King, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Weather Underground, and several others.

lol This is exactly what I needed. It's a bit hard to read contents of HN without filters. Thank you for sharing.

would be better if number of points was shown on comments button, to save one line of text on mobile devices

Comments button is optional
