ScienzaBot

This bot was made to tag the people when in a group where a lot of topics are treated.
The bot look in every message for a "list".
A list is basically a topic.
The bot supports multiple lists.
A list is called via a special character prepending the name of the list (@, #, . or !).
When a list is called, the bot contacts via private message all the users subscribed to the list.
A subscription is the relationship a user creates when he joins a list. If the group where the list was called is private, the bot will just say that a list was invoked, providing the possibility to see the message by tapping on a inline keyboard button to be tagged at the message:

If instead the group is public, the bot will also provide 2 additional buttons; One that takes the user to the group, and the other one the the message in the group:

The user also provide the possibility too "bookmark" a message. Basically the message get saved and a user can see it later in time.
