I built a Telegram bot that converts any article URL to audio
Article-to-audio bot, but Pocket, Instapaper, and Speechify already do this better.

Useful Telegram bot wrapper, but yt-dlp bots already exist in dozens of repos.
Strengths
- •Combines media downloading, OCR, and translation into a single group-chat utility.
- •Zero telemetry and fully self-hosted via Docker Compose for privacy control.
- •REST API allows external triggering of downloads and task management.
Weaknesses
- •Functionally identical to many existing open-source Telegram downloader bots.
- •Reliance on third-party translation APIs introduces potential rate limits or costs.

Post Description
My latest project, about 60% of the codebase was written with Z.ai's GLM-5.1 model. It's basically a Telegram bot that allows for embedding/downloading media easier within group chats. Absolutely 0 telemetry and you're free to edit the code as you wish. I know this is so small and stupid compared to the cool stuff I read here every day, but I'm very proud of my accomplishments as I had to learn a lot to get this to work as intended. Anyways enjoy ^^

Omniget, a Desktop Media Downloader
The neat technical hook is the Udemy/Hotmart login handling — the app injects JS into a WebView to capture cookies (using WebView2 on Windows and a JS-redirect trick on macOS/Linux) so it can pull entire courses including attachments. Add native Telegram QR/phone logins, an yt-dlp fallback for 1000+ sites, and GPU-accelerated FFmpeg conversion, and you get a focused desktop tool that actually tackles the messy parts of course and media scraping.
