The problem it solves

Keeping a channel or community active with fresh content takes daily effort you don't always have time for. Finding and posting something interesting every single day is easy to let slip.

Who it fits

Community managers or hobbyists who run a space or science-themed Telegram channel.

How it works

  1. Every day at a set time, the automation runs
  2. It fetches NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day
  3. The image is prepared for posting
  4. It's posted to your Telegram channel
What you get

Space photos your channel members enjoy

You get NASA's daily astronomy picture posted automatically to your Telegram channel every single day without you lifting a finger.

What you get

A daily image post in your Telegram channel with no manual work.

What you need

A Telegram account with a channel you manage.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
