Hi HN,

I built BirdyChat because I wanted a simple live chat for my website, but everything I tried felt like a giant "corporate gargantuan."

Also I didn't want any additional app to install to my phone. That's how an idea came to my head - I will create a live chat widget that sends website's messages directly to my Telegram account.

How it works: Dashboard in a Mini App: I moved the entire admin UI into a Telegram Mini App. It’s stripped down to just a few essential buttons. No heavy web UIs, no distractions.

Voice-to-Text: This is my favorite "productivity hack." I record a voice note in Telegram while on the move, and the visitor gets a clean text message on the site. Fast for me, professional for them.

Lightweight Script: Optimized to ensure your site's performance stays high.

Zero Registration: Start the bot, paste the snippet, and you’re live.

>>> Try it out (No signup needed): directly in Telegram t.me/birdychat_bot

I’m curious about your workflow—as a founder, is there a "power feature" you feel must live in a traditional desktop dashboard, or is a simplified, mobile-first Mini App enough for your daily support? Have I trimmed too much?

Would love your brutal feedback!
