Telegram Nearby Map uses OpenStreetMap and the official Telegram library to locate nearby users.

Inspired by Ahmed's blog post and a Hacker News discussion. Developed by github.com/tejado.

Every 25 seconds all nearby users will be received with TDLib from Telegram. This includes the distance of every nearby user to "my" location. With three distances from three different points, it is possible to calculate the position of the nearby user.

Requirements: node.js and an Telegram account

1. Create an API key for your Telegram account here
2. Download the repository
3. Create config.js (see config.example.js) and put your Telegram API credentials in it
4. Install all dependencies: npm install
5. Start the app: npm start
6. Look carefully at the output: you will need to confirm your Telegram login
7. Go to http:https://localhost:3000 and have fun

Linux users: you will need to compile TDLib yourself and put it into the lib/tdlib folder.
