My name is Benyamin, and my hobby is creating practical and useful tools (mostly telegram bots), that assist myself and others. I created this channel to centralize updates on my current projects:

📆 Zmanim bot — provides access to a wide range of features related to the Jewish calendar, including holiday dates, Shabbat times (Zmanim), date conversions, and more.

🚍 Israel bus info bot — real-time bus updates for Israel.

💸 Finance bot — a self-hosted bot for managing family spends and monthly budgets.

📆 @zmanim_bot | #zmanim_bot

Fixed a bug when selecting "Zmanim by the date" and then switching between location variants caused the custom date to not be saved.

There was an issue in 📆 with callback buttons after the last update, the issue has been fixed now.

There were lots of issues with 🚍 over the last few days — it is happening because the ministry of transport changed the API without any announcements, and I started to receive new kinds of transport types. While I'm waiting for a response from the ministry, I have prepared a temporary fix — unknown kinds of transport will be marked as question marks (but I'm pretty sure they are buses)

3k users in 📆 @zmanim_bot!
I still can't believe it is for real

The issue in the 📆 @zmanim_bot where users were unable to unsubscribe from Omer notifications has now been fixed.

Update for 📆 @zmanim_bot:

From today onwards, the bot takes into account your altitude above sea level. This allows for a more precise determination of the zmanim times.
In the mountains and valleys, where the altitude above sea level significantly differs from zero, the value can vary up to 7-10 minutes.
