I think just basic reply commands might be cool like : « next », « next 3 » to get 3 pages at once ... I wanted to do this with with sms or messenger or WhatsApp bots


I like that, especially a chunk of pages.

SMS/WhatsApp would be a cinch, the APIs look similar to email sending APIs. It's on my backlog, but I never actually really answered the question of why you'd want that? When would you prefer an SMS/WhatsApp message over an email? The biggest complaint folks have is around lack of context for a single page, which would be exacerbated by an even shorter text message?


A Telegram bot please.

>When would you prefer an SMS/WhatsApp message over an email?

Formatting issues with email. And I don't check my mail often, on my phone alerts for chat is instant, email delays.

With telegram, whatever device I'm on works unlike WhatsApp.

I'm currently forwarding emails from you to Telegram but the formatting ish remains. Some lines at the bottom are stripped.

Issue:

It would awesome if books started right at chapter 1. With mobydick, Had to receive 15 emails of testimonials to get up chapter one.
