Post Description

I built a small Claude Code plugin that sends Telegram messages when Claude finishes a task or needs permission to proceed.

It's a shell hook that calls the Telegram Bot API — no daemon, no dependencies, ~50 lines of shell. Useful when you run multiple Claude sessions across different terminals/IDEs.

Setup: create a Telegram bot, install the plugin, add credentials. Takes ~2 minutes.

Free and open source.

Website Monitoring with Telegram Alerts

Telegram-first alerting is the product's personality — there are website/API/cron/SSL checks and an explicit "Start without email" flow that keeps signup friction low. The retro terminal UI is tasteful and suggests an MVP you can click through fast, but it doesn't yet offer a clear feature advantage over established uptime tools unless Telegram-only delivery is your hard requirement.
