ircme_bot

Simple Telegram bot on Go (telego) that builds messages in this format:

<name> thinks that: <text>

The generated message is sent in italic formatting.

<name> is resolved with this priority:

1. username
2. first_name
3. someone

Features

• Handles inline query updates.
• Returns one inline result (article) with the final message text.
• Handles /me <text> command in regular chat messages:
  • sends a new bot message in the same style;
  • deletes the original user command message.
• Uses dedicated handlers for inline and command flows, wired through a shared update dispatcher.
• Keeps an in-memory usage counter and logs to stdout after every chosen inline result.
