Suppose you’re given a static site, meaning a set of HTML/CSS/JS files, and you want to restrict access only to some people. A user-friendly solution without passwords or other complication would be a “Log In with Telegram” button. Everything required is to develop a simple server app that handles authentication and checks Telegram users against a whitelist.
I wrote a tutorial about this — just to practice in writing technical tutorials. To be honest, I didn’t expect it would be noticed at all, but it got many upvotes. My guess is that people opened the tutorial because of a catchy title and the tutorial was just OK. Or is it just such a demanded topic?
Anyway, I wrote a tutorial called “Please Log In With Telegram” (Russian language) and started a GitHub repository.
The tutorial shows how to create a server app that delivers static files with Telegram authorization, keeping the code safe and clean.
Should I translate it in English?
