Deploy to Netlify or similar alternative about notepher-bot HOT 3 OPEN

@deptyped good news, I was able to deploy to Netlify without needing to edit anything but I don't know what to set the webhook url to, how can everything still work? What is the webhook for?

Loose steps I followed (let me know if you need precise steps):

1. Follow steps 1 to 3 in the readme as if you wanted to setup everything locally
2. In your main Netlify page add a new site with "Deploy manually", this will be the web app
   
3. Drag and drop the dist (web-app/dist) folder when asked to do so by netlify
4. Copy the url of the created website, if everything went well opening the website in the browser should show a blank page
5. Edit the .env file and as WEB_APP_URL use the url from step 4.
6. Create another website in netlify in the same way as before but this time drag and drop the bot folder (src/bot), this will host the bot

src/bot is not enough, you need to deploy the entire repository (except web-app/ directory) to host the bot.

Ok so basically the bot does not work in my case 🤣. I was a bit suspicious that everything worked without any intervention but I wasn't bothered to investigate more. I thought that since the button was working the bot had to work as well.
I don't really need anything more than this.

Thank you very much again for you help

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I don't have enough experience with Netlify. As far as I know, Netlify requires some Netlify-specific code to handle requests, and the bot will not work without code changes.

What is the webhook for?

To receive and process updates from Telegram. This is necessary for processing commands in the chat interface, such as /start. If web app that can be launched with menu button is enough for you, you can skip the bot deployment.

In the case of Netlify, in BOT_WEBHOOK you need to set url to the Netlify Function that runs the bot (not the web app).
