Description

It would be nice to create a telegram bot that would allow you to quickly view free resources belonging to a certain category/subcategory. I created a small bot in python to use it as an example (it's just a concept, the code is really bad): https://gist.github.com/LuigiImVector/c748aa5801c8f3fdfeb4114eb35d1eac

The idea is to make it self-manageable, to send the resources it will save a copy of the desired file and search for the name of the desired subcategory ("Android" for example) and the program will send all the updated resources assigned to that subcategory. There are many other ways to do this, if you like this I can help create it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing repository structure and the concept gist. Design a modular Telegram bot that reads category/subcategory metadata and serves resources. Consider using python telegram bot library. Start by setting up a simple echo bot, then implement resource retrieval from the repo's data files.
