[New project] Facegram: simple and extensible Facebook-Telegram bridge
Repository

Details
facegram
FacegramBridge is a simple and extensible Facebook (Messenger) - Telegram bridge. Reclaim your privacy now, don't let Zuckbot spy on you and drain your battery.
How does it work?
Everytime you recieve a message on Messenger it will be relayed to a specific conversation on telegram. When you reply via Telegram the message will be relayed the other way round. This way you don't have to install Facebook Messenger on your phone.
Requirements
To use this you will need:
- Python 3
- Two Telegram accounts
- Your main telegram account
- A secondary account, which will be used by the bridge (unfortunately you will also need another phone number)
- An API key for the second account https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id
- Your Facebook account
Usage
Everytime you recieve a message on Facebook a new conversation with this person group will be created on telegram. However when you want to create the conversation manually you can message the bot with a /import command and the ID of the conversation (full help available with /help).

Roadmap
I would like to eliminate need to have two telegram accounts. Second account can be just replaced with Telegram bot.
Hi @feelfreelinux, glad to have you on board! Could you just confirm this is actually your account by e.g. adding something about Steemit/Utopian to your GitHub account's bio or one of your repositories?
@amosbastian Yeah, I have note about my steem handle in my github bio

Just one thing - this doesn't make your messages invisible from zucc. There's still no privacy, because your messages are stored on Facebook's servers.
Yeah, but facebook messenger listens for A LOT of data from your phone. Telegram client is fully opensource, and drains less battery than FB Messenger.
Thanks for the contribution, @feelfreelinux! I'm very happy to have a seemingly great developer like yourself contributing to Utopian.io! I'm curious - how did you find out about Utopian and Steemit in general?
Also, is there a reason you use camelCase for your variable and function names instead of lowercase with words separated by an underscore?
I'm looking forward to your future contributions!

@amosbastian Thanks!
I used camelCase because I'm mostly work with Java, where it's an standard. But I'll refactor my app to snake_case to comply with pep8 soon.
I found out about steemit from my friend about an year ago. When I first saw utopian, I thought it's a really great opportunity to get some new contributors to my projects.
