Telecast

Telecast is a self-hosted, statically generated microblog mirror that turns a Telegram channel into a locally deployable website. It fetches channel content, including posts and media, and generates a Twitter-like responsive feed with Telegram-native image grids, DPlayer video playback, Lunr.js full-text search, RSS, social previews, a sitemap, and optional PWA assets.

Overview

The project is built with Next.js, React, shadcn/ui, and Tailwind CSS. Configuration is kept in a single TypeScript file containing the channel, site URL, Telegram host, locale, timezone, social links, and display options; it does not use environment files or runtime environment variables. The production build generates the site artifacts before the Next.js build, and the resulting static site can be deployed without a database or a runtime Telegram dependency. The repository lists Node.js 22 or newer and pnpm 10 or newer as requirements.
