Telegram Designers

✨ Designers × AI 🆕 The mockup era is over. Today’s AI tools give every designer a superpower: you can now craft your ideas, not just draw them. The gap between “what if…?” and “look, it works!” has never been smaller, and that changed how we build features in Telegram. Message @designers to submit your concepts. ✔️ We accept – Working, ready-to-implement code complemented by – A demo video of your feature in action 🗑 We no longer accept – Static mockups – Demo videos with no code behind them – Text-only concepts No coding background? Curiosity, attention to detail and a good prompt will take you far. The future of design isn’t drawn – it’s built. 🚀 Let's build it together! (An example of what is possible by our iOS designer – this is a ready to use implementation not a motion video.) 👇
