Desktop Developer Needed: Lightweight Telegram Client (Electron / TypeScript / React / TDLib)

We are looking for an experienced desktop software engineer to build a lightweight, stable, custom Telegram messenger client from the ground up. The application will focus exclusively on core 1-on-1 messaging functionality. We prioritize absolute stability, clean architecture, and reliable state management over bells and whistles. --- Core Requirements: • Tech Stack: Electron + TypeScript + React, backed by TDLib (tdlib native/FFI bindings or dynamic library). • Authentication Flow: In-app login via phone number, SMS/Telegram OTP, and password (2FA / Cloud Password support required). • Direct Messaging (1-on-1 Only): - Reliable sending and receiving of text messages, threaded replies, and standard attachments (images/files). - Smooth incoming and outgoing sync with minimal latency. • Deleted Message Tombstones: - When a message is deleted by either party, it must not disappear from the local view. - The client must retain and render a tombstone showing the original message text with a clear visual indicator that it was deleted. - Note: Tombstones only need to retain message text; preserving deleted media/attachments is not required. • Configuration: Standard .env or local configuration file handling for api_id, api_hash, and TDLib parameters. --- Scope Exclusions (Keep It Lean): To ensure rapid delivery and maximum stability, you do NOT need to implement: • Group chats, channels, or bot interactions (1-on-1 private chats only). • In-app search (chat search or message search). • Rich markdown formatting/WYSIWYG tools. • Advanced keyboard shortcuts or UI themes. --- Key Constraints: • Strictly From Scratch: Do not fork, wrap, or skin existing open-source Telegram clients (e.g., Telegram Desktop, WebK/WebZ, Kotatogram). We require clean, modular code written specifically for this project. • Daily Reliability: Proper connection handling, IPC communication, and local TDLib state management to prevent memory leaks or crashes during extended daily operation. --- To Apply: Please share: 1. Brief examples of previous projects using Electron + TypeScript, especially involving native C/C++ bindings or native dynamic libraries. 2. Your direct experience working with TDLib (or the Telegram API/MTProto). 3. Your estimated timeline and fixed-price quote or weekly rate.
