The Telegram Intel panel (internal id telegram-intel) mirrors a curated set of open-source Telegram channels into the dashboard: topic-tabbed, freshness-aware, and relay-status-aware so the panel can distinguish “no recent traffic” from “relay unavailable”.

​
What the panel shows

A row of topic tabs at the top with a feed list below:
  • Topic tabs — tabs derived from TELEGRAM_TOPICS in src/services/telegram-intel. The default tab is all.
  • Feed items — TelegramItem[] for the active topic, each showing channel, message timestamp, and message body (with sanitizeUrl applied to any links).
  • Live distinction — items newer than 10 minutes (LIVE_THRESHOLD_MS = 600_000) are flagged as live.
  • Relay state — when the Telegram relay isn’t reachable (relayEnabled = false), the panel indicates degraded mode rather than showing an empty list.
Panel id is telegram-intel; canonical component is src/components/TelegramIntelPanel.ts. Title from i18n (panels.telegramIntel); config name: “Telegram Intel”. Default row span is 2 — the panel is dense.

​
How you reach it

  • Cmd+K: type telegram.
  • Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (priority: 2). The full-variant registration layers premium: 'locked' on desktop (_desktop && { premium: 'locked' as const }), so the panel is free on web and PRO-locked on desktop. Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants. Source: 'telegram-intel' in FULL_PANELS of src/config/panels.ts.

​
Data sources

  • @/services/telegram-intel — backed by /api/telegram-feed which proxies to a Railway relay that pulls the curated channel set. Channel coverage is curated rather than user-configurable.

​
Refresh cadence

Driven by the relay’s poll cycle; the panel reads on mount and on relevant external refresh triggers.

​
Tier & gating

Free on web; PRO-locked on desktop. Registered without premium on the web path; the desktop variant spreads premium: 'locked' via the _desktop && clause.

API reference

  • /api/telegram-feed — relay proxy documented under Proxies.
