Telemon – Send Telegram Alerts from Any Rust Project

Hey Rustaceans! 🦀

I’ve recently started learning Rust, and to solidify my understanding, I wanted to build something small but useful in the real world. That’s how I created telemon – a lightweight message dispatcher that lets you send alerts and logs directly to Telegram from any Rust application.

💡 What Is telemon?
telemon is a tiny but powerful crate that allows you to:

✅ Send messages to Telegram topics
✅ Notify Telegram groups of logs/errors
✅ Trigger real-time alerts from CLI tools, background jobs, servers, or monitoring scripts

With a single line:

use telemon::Telemon;
Telemon::send("🔥 Server is down!").to((your_chat_id, yout_topic_id));
Or:
Telemon::send("✅ Backup complete.").to_group();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It reads from a simple config file: telemon.toml
Here’s what it looks like:

token = "your-telegram-bot-token"
chat_id = your_chat_id
group_id = your_group_id
show_logs = true
parse_mode = "HTML"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

No external services, no database, no headache.

This is my second published crate, so I’d really appreciate:
