Just yesterday I was trying to get a bot working on the TextSecure platform.

Just yesterday I was trying to get a bot working on the TextSecure platform. A vastly disappointing experience: almost not existing libraries, sparse and incomplete documentation, unstable protocol breaking without any kind of notice ( https://github.com/JavaJens/TextSecure/issues/6 , for example). And still no way to register without a phone, which would be amazing for this kind of project: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/1085 I think Telegram is succeeding in what TextSecure is failing: attracting a widespread community of developers. This is only a confirmation, in my opinion. EDIT: and, by the way, while Telegram security is no good, I wonder why we cannot have both (security & developer-friendliness)
