#dev @creationdatebot

Hey all! wanted to give you a quick update on what’s happening. As you may know, it’s exam season for most students out there. I’m having the last of mine in two days, after which I will be free to work fully on the bot.

As a sneak peek, the next function to come will be the ability to use a username to find the creation date of an account.

Stay tuned!

The database issues are fully fixed. The bot should now respond faster to user requests.

#issues @creationdatebot

I apologize for the recent bot downtime. All code ages, and it seems that I will soon have to rewrite the bot on top of a more consistent library to be able to implement new features. This will be coming soon, as I finish up work on another bot, that should also be of interest to many people. Stay tuned!

#new @beta_courantbot

hey guys, sorry for being so quiet. i’ve been working on something for quite while.

i developed a little bot that basically combines your channel or rss subscriptions into one chat. It collects new posts from channels or rss feeds and sends them to you so that your chats list is free of clutter.

it’s currently in beta, please check it out: @beta_courantbot

#issues @creationdatebot

The bot is up and working. I’m soon rewriting the codebase so the dates are more accurate. Stay tuned!

#update @creationdatebot

The bot now supports @username’s and gives you their creation dates! Simply send a username to the bot and it will do the rest. Thanks for your patience everyone!

#issues @creationdatebot

Wow! You guys are wild. Currently it appears that telegram has temporarily banned the bot from resolving usernames. In the future, to prevent this, I’m afraid this command will be limited to a certain maximum per day. Meanwhile, I’ll be fixing the issue. Go easy on the bot please!

P.S. regular messages and forwards are still functioning

#issues @creationdatebot

The flood issue has been handled. If over-used, you will have to wait to use it. In the future I may be adding more capacity for this function, but as of now the demand isn’t too strong. Stay tuned for more updates!

Hi guys. The Creation Date Bot requires a server to function, for which I have for years, till now, now paid out of my own pocket to maintain the free service. I am now a broke college student. The server fee is $5/month. The bot is currently down but if you’d like to support the cost please donate:
