Loving Hono.js in my MyGO!!!!! Telegram Bot 🚀

[calpa]

Hello Hono.js community! 👋

I wanted to share my experience using Hono.js in my latest project - a Telegram bot for searching MyGO!!!!! anime images! 🎸✨

https://github.com/calpa/mygobot

I've built a Telegram bot using Hono.js alongside Grammy that's deployed on Cloudflare Workers. The architecture leverages Hono's efficient request handling capabilities to create a fast and responsive edge-deployed application.

Architecture Highlights 🏗️

My application follows this architecture:

• Hono App as the main framework for routing and request processing
• Grammy for Telegram bot functionality
• Edge deployment on Cloudflare Workers
• In-memory storage for user results and pagination
• Cloudflare R2 for image storage

Here's a snippet of the architecture diagram from my project:

Hono.js has been incredible for this project - its lightweight nature and edge-first approach made it perfect for a Cloudflare Workers deployment. The middleware system and routing capabilities are exactly what I needed!

Thank you for creating such an amazing framework! ❤️
