Logging Telegram activity to the DB

[joshfraser]

We're getting to the point where it would be very useful for us to have our Telegram activity logged in a database. We'd like to have a history of all the messages, who joined when & make it easy to chart the grow of the community over time.

Our Telegram channel is http://t.me/originprotocol

As always, add a comment here before you get started to avoid duplicating efforts.

Sounds like a bot would be a good idea.

However, the T&Cs should be reviewed so that we can confirm we are permitted to log every message, join-date, etc.

Just wanted to bump this up in priority. Our Telegram is growing fast and that growth is a big KPI for us.

@Kentoseth should be fine. it's public conversations in a public channel.

I have found 2 existing loggers:

https://github.com/itulo/telegram_bot_logger

https://github.com/DarthJahus/Telegram.Group_logger

If neither of them seem applicable to our use-case, I can develop a more advanced-logger instead.

Woot!

Let's add issues to that repo from here on. Closing out this issue.
