TBC: when builders built a platform

TeleBot Creator kept appearing in the BB chat: first as a link to ask for, then as part of a much bigger conversation about growing as a developer.

Asking about TBC

On 4 February 2022, someone in the BB chat wanted another place to make Telegram bots. Among the answers was TeleBot Creator. The next question was simple: send the link.

TBC became a recurring name. A March message described making bots there with Python. Later, builders asked whether code from one platform would work on the other.

The next project could be the platform

The comparisons could get noisy. But the founder also welcomed the existence of more bot-development projects, writing in March 2023 that they could mean better quality for users.

In June 2026, he returned to TBC and TBH while answering a long request for better developer tools. Many projects and developers had begun their journey with BB before building something bigger, he said. Helping people reach the point of creating their own platforms was a success.
