Update!

Dear users, some time ago we thought about stopping our bot's work, but today we are announcing you that we decided to continue bot's development and support! As you can remember, we asked you to invite 2-3 people to enlarge our bot's audience, and you did it. Thank you about it! Now it's time to do something good for you. Our team thinked a lot how to do it, and decided to roll out an update.

Changes

  • Bot is completely rewritten to modern programming language, called Go. Originally Kinonet was written on PHP, but we're changed it to Go, because of it's performance. But today bot's audience is not big enough to spot perfomance changes for you. So, programming language change is more like educational change for us.
  • When we were rewriting bot to new language, we've found and removed many bugs and security issues.
  • In updated bot we are using all possibilities of Telegram Bot API. For example, we are using deleteMessage method to keep dialog clean. This metod is used smartly, to make bot usage easy. Now bot automatically deletes previous message when sends new one. When you choosed a film from search results, all other films are deleted from message history - it makes bot clean.
  • Also we added button to delete a film from search results: that's how it looks like: Green button deletes a film.
  • Besides that, we're packed our bot with "delete" buttons for any life situation!
  • From this day you can watch a trailer to any film. We did this so you dont have to switch to another app or bot to watch trailer. Trailers and films are available in many languages, from Russian and English, to Korean and Hindi. Even Arabian ones!
  • We thought that trailers aren't the most important thing, and gave you the ability to add video file in case our bot wasn't able to find it itself. This is how we did id:

Now any user can add video to our bot. You don't even need to upload it, just give us a link to an .mp4 file, and it will instantly become available for all users. (It's okay if someone will add a broken link, because we're added "Update file" button for this case)

  • When we made this system, we thought about possibility to add missing film info in our database to make it possible to find it in our bot. It's very responsible work, and because of this you can send request to add missing info, and we'll do all other work ourselves. This is how it works:

We will look through your orders and add missing info if possible.

  • FAQ section is changed in this update. Now usage instruction is wrapped in telegraph post, because Instant View is very comfortable to use.
  • Ratings section is updated. Now there will be 5 stars instead of "Rate bot" phrase.
  • There are only two commands in updated bot: / and /menu. Use them only if menu keyboard disappeared.
  • And last but not least: now if you send sticker or file, bot won't react on this type of messages.

What's now?

This is where our changes list ends, and we hope that you like it. If something goes wrong or you have a suggestion, you can write it to @kinonetDev.

We almost forgot
