The (new) founder, John, said that the user base isn’t as active as on Slack (though I doubt it is that much higher), and he is rebuilding the project. As far as I understood, the community can make their own bots, but no official ones in Telegram.
I mean it’s his own project, all and all, so I hope someone will make a TG bot at some point.
Again, gladly, WIP has an official bot hehe!
Thanks for letting us now! And I really appreciate that you support Telegram, unlike Makerlog which will deprecate the bot :(
Oh, that's surprising. I wonder why?

Not sure a lot of people did it — though, I guess if you are using Twitter just for keeping yourself accountable and stuff like that, then moving to WIP does make sense.
Personally, I use Twitter to grow my brand and online presence.
Yes, I second this. However, please, for the love of god, don’t enable trial plans automatically for users — make enabling it manual. Sometimes I wanted to create an account, learn the dashboard, a tool, etc, and then start using the trial plan to the fullest when I’m ready. It’s a hassle to DM devs to ask them to extend a trial plan or remove my account, so I can start over.
I do not know any stats, maybe enabling trial plan right away is a good solution for better engagement, but it’s not good UX in my humble opinion.

Hey Alejandro, I did update the photos — hope you’ll like ’em 😅
Thank you, and love them ! Thanks for sharing. Really cool story.
Agree, this helps. Maybe you won’t make a shit ton of connections right off the bat, but you’ll slowly build meaningful ones. I’m not talking actively to anyone from WIP and I don’t have (any) friends, so I can relate on a deeper level than you might think (mental issues and stuff like that), but I do know people from WIP, and we both comment on each other’s tasks.
Like, I’ve been talking to @screenfluent (great guy) for a while, and we try to encourage one another. Today we’ve met accidentally on a WIP hangout, haha — talked for a while there too.
Sure, I would love to have really deep trustful connections with people, but it takes time.
So, don’t give up, lurk around, and, if you didn’t do it yet, join Telegram group chat — lots of folks talk there almost every day.
Well said Georgy :) For me joining a hangout is still a bridge too far but I'll get there 😅
Thank you Thomas and Georgy.
Guess I’ll take it slow and steady. It’s a good reminder not to rush things.
