Show HN: Eloqra - Live Chat with Telegram integration

Eloqra, a new live chat tool, integrates with Telegram to let website owners answer visitor messages directly from their Telegram app, eliminating the need for a separate dashboard. The service, currently in early access and free, requires only a single ~5kb script tag and offers a Telegram Mini App as an operator console. Eloqra targets solo founders and freelancers seeking a lightweight alternative to Intercom.

No build step, no backend, no iframe — it just drops onto any site. Each message arrives with the page, device, browser, and country attached — so you reply already knowing who's asking. Optionally capture a name and email before the chat starts, so a stray question becomes a lead you can follow up. The bubble inherits your fonts and colors and stays under ~5kb. No clunky iframe, no lock-in. Through Telegram. You connect your Telegram once, and from then on every visitor message is forwarded to you there. You reply in Telegram like a normal chat, and your answer appears in the visitor's chat on your site instantly. No. That's the whole point. There's no separate inbox or app to keep open — you live in the Telegram you already check all day. A small web dashboard exists for configuration, but you don't need it open to chat. About 30 seconds. Add one <script tag to your site, connect Telegram, and the chat bubble is live on every page. No build step, no backend. No. The script is under ~5kb, loads after your page, and isn't a clunky iframe. It won't block first paint or drag down your Core Web Vitals. If your site renders HTML, Eloqra works. Paste the snippet into Next.js, Webflow, WordPress, Astro, Framer, or a plain HTML file. No framework lock-in. It's a lighter one. Eloqra does one thing well — live chat that routes to your phone via Telegram — without per-seat pricing, bots you have to train, or a heavy help-desk suite. If you just want to talk to your visitors, it's a fraction of the cost. Yes. Turn on the optional pre-chat form to collect a name and email before the chat starts. Every message also arrives with the page, device, and country attached, so you always have context. Free while we're in early access — no credit card to start. When paid plans arrive they'll add things on top; they won't take away what you're already using. I built Eloqra because I wanted to talk to people on my sites without signing into yet another dashboard. I already live in Telegram all day — so why not let visitor messages just come to me there? That’s the whole idea: one tiny snippet on your site, every message in your Telegram, and you reply from your phone. No heavy help desk, no per-seat pricing, no tab you have to babysit. Most live chat tools are built for big support teams and priced that way. For a solo founder, a freelancer, or a small team, that never made sense to me — so I made the simple version I actually wanted to use, and kept it free to start. I have a 9-to-5, but I build small projects like this on the side — basically, infrastructure for founders. Eloqra is one piece. Skribra, a blog writer, is another. Enjoy the app, and if you need anything, reach out on X or by email. Thanks everyone.
