More new stuff for your PowerPC Mac!
Here's a Telegram client, very creatively named TelegramPPC, powered by a port of tdlib. tdlib is the official Telegram library used for building third-party clients - tdlib is now available on PPCPorts too!
TelegramPPC offers a native, feature-rich UI designed and optimized for G4 and G5 Macs running Leopard. Watch videos, react to messages and more! Upload files, participate in group chats, even make voice calls (video chat support planned). You can even participate in end-to-end encrypted Secret Chats.
To login, just provide the phone number associated with your Telegram account. A code will be sent to the app on your phone.
This client features a full messaging experience with your contacts and followed channels:
All of the requests are handled directly on your Mac with no relay or man-in-the-middle needed. Telegram's official tdlib handles all of the request processing, encrypting your traffic in transit, and Keychain Access is utilized for storing credentials and other sensitive data. It works great on my G5 and pretty well on my G4 - although I'm still working to optimize media playback and large group chats in particular.
You can view the source code here: https://github.com/doctashay/telegram-ppc
You can download it for your G4 or G5 Mac here: https://github.com/doctashay/telegram-ppc/releases/tag/v0.1.0
Direct Download (G4)
Direct Download (G5)
More updates are planned in the future - if you have any issues, feel free to open a bug report on my GitHub!
