Reaction Dice - Animated Stickerpack

Inspired by the 🎲 animated emoji made by Telegram, I started making an animated sticker pack that will be showing different words or emotions after the roll.
Hey hey :) @dotvhs here.

I don't think I need a channel but I figured it will be a better thing than listing my bots and other stuff in a bio.

tl;dr:

Flat, Minimal & Dark Clover Theme

This is not a Telegram related thing. If you have a hackintosh, you might be aware of a Clover, it's a bootloader and it also allows for visual customizations. Long story short, after battling with updating to Mojave, I decided to also make my own theme for it.

Get it from GitHub

I hate "Stories" being pushed into all possible apps.

Refreshment of Telegram for macOS

I like update with "folders" but not necessarily the placement and was a bit envy how TDesktop had it so here we are, I redesigned it a bit :)

Tweets by Telegram Stickerpack

Telegram fans are probably aware of SoonTM stickerpack, but I wasn't entirely happy with it. It lacked consistency design wise. It's still good though :) Long story short - I made my own pack(s) in dark and light versions.

YouTube Picture-In-Picture in Telegram for macOS

I wrote today a guide that enables you to watch YouTube videos without opening your browser again. Sad that feature was removed from Telegram macOS due to Google being jelly how cool it is.

A reminder - it will work only on macOS, here's the guide:

Quiz Directory Dark

If you're one of those people who welcome darkness, their old friend with a sigh of relief like I do and you're also participating in the Quiz Contest or just browse user submitted Telegram quizzes on their directory - I made a UserCSS that will turn the blinding white into calm dark blue :)

Head for my GitHub repository for all instructions, link is below. You will only need a single extension for browser of your pick.

Device-dependant reminders

Reminders are great in general, but I never know what's the best time to schedule them. What if it shows up when I'm in public transport because I didn't plan it out properly and then I forget? From my experience they don't trigger when I need them most.

So I designed my potential solution for it. Just remind me when I'm online on specific device.

This design was also featured on @designers.

If you want to read more about it, check comment section, I left there some more details.
Happy Halloween everyone πŸŽƒ
Bugs and Suggestions Dark

As some of you are aware, Telegram launched their Bugs and Suggestions tracker a bit over a month ago and it's - as usual - blinding white. So again, I made a UserCSS that will turn the melting brightness of a Thousand Suns into Darkness, the old friend.

I'd also like to thank testers that found few issues for things that would be rather difficult for me alone to track - thanks!

Head for my GitHub repository for all instructions, link is below. You will only need a single extension for browser of your pick.

Word Every Day

Here's something I worked on for couple days, a fun little project that was born from my annoyance with Android apps designed to expand English vocabulary.

Idea is dead simple: one word with an explanation per day. Yes, that's really it, however as a bonus feature, you can save words for later and use bot to read through them - it's completely optional though. Additionally I have couple ideas to expand this, with randomized quizzes, audio files with pronunciation and maybe origin but that's the song of the future as we say in my country.

πŸ‘‰ In short: if you would like to expand your English vocabulary, I invite you to join me on the journey and follow my automated channel: @WordEveryDay

Companion bot for the saved words can be found here: @WordEveryDayHelperBot
