Show HN: Pingram – Send Telegram alerts with 1 line of Python (20KB) (github.com)

Pingram was built out of frustration with bloated libraries just to send a simple Telegram message. It’s intentionally tiny, with no handlers, no webhooks, and no event loop, just a one-way outbound messenger.

It’s ideal for alerts, logs, reports, and anything that needs to say “hey” without needing a reply. If you want a full framework, there’s always python-telegram-bot. Pingram isn’t that. It does one thing and one thing only.

Would love feedback, ideas, or feature suggestions.

My only feedback is please write the README by hand. I don't personally have a use for this but I absolutely appreciate small libraries for tasks like this.

Edit: Oh, also you really should add .DS_Store (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store) to your .gitignore.
