6 measurements spanning 18 days, net +13. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 2,157–2,174 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.

ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 1 of 2 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.

Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.

Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Reaction mix

67 reactions across 18 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 46.3% of them.

Every reaction kind recorded on the sample, most used first

🔥2029.9%

🥰22.99%
😁11.49%

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 20 of the 21 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 70reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 21 most recent posts we hold, published 5 March 2026 to 7 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Headroom - (★ 65.3k at GitHub) compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they hit the LLM. Drop-in library, HTTP proxy, or MCP server. Claims ~20% token savings on coding-agent traces and 60-95% on JSON payloads with equivalent downstream answers — useful when your context window is the bottleneck, not the model. #llm #ai #tokens #agents #rag

Gridex - (★ 815 at GitHub) is a native cross-platform database IDE for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis. Ships with an MCP server out of the box, and a built-in AI chat that understands your schema — so LLM-driven tools can query your DB and the in-app assistant already knows your tables. #database #sql #mcp #ai #devtools

Buzz - (★ 8.7k at GitHub) is a self-hostable workspace where humans and AI agents share the same rooms, built on a Nostr relay. Another one from Block (Jack Dorsey's company). Every message, reaction, workflow step, review approval, and git event is a signed event in one log — same identity model whether the author is a person or a process. Agents are members, not bots: they get their own keys, channel memberships,

humanizer - (★ 26k) is a Claude Code / OpenCode skill that strips AI-isms from text. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide, it detects 33 patterns — em dashes, "It's not just X, it's Y", significance inflation, sycophantic openers, rule of three, etc. — and rewrites the text in your voice. Example from the README: Before: AI-assisted coding serves as an enduring testament to the transformative potential

Showing the 12 most recent of 21 posts we hold for @dev_useful_stuff. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
