Simple telegram bot/service which allows you to indirectly send some text/image/file to your chat with this bot via external service without interacting with Telegram itself. Interaction channel is intentionally unidirectional (service -> bot) for security and privacy purposes. All non-command messages sent to this bot are ignored.
The main use-case of this bot comes from the situation when you do not want (or not able) to login into your telegram account on some PC while you need to send some text/image/document into it (e.g. share a link, pass some document, send memes). This eliminates possibility to compromise your account, the only possible drawback is SPAM (but you always can revoke the token, or stop the bot). Bot itself do not store any of the content passed through it.
