## What it is
Webogram is a browser-based Telegram web client implementing the MTProto protocol in pure JavaScript with AngularJS, jQuery, and Bootstrap. It was the original Telegram Web app and has since been deprecated in favor of two official successors (Telegram Web K and Telegram Web Z).

## Use cases
- use telegram in a web browser
- self-host a telegram web client
- study an MTProto client implementation in javascript
- run telegram as a chrome or firefox packaged app
- access telegram messages offline via a PWA
- fork a legacy telegram web app codebase

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference implementation of a Telegram web client
- you want to fork or study the codebase that Telegram Web K was derived from
- you must run an old self-hosted Telegram web client for legacy reasons

## When to avoid
- you want a current, maintained Telegram web client - use Telegram Web K or Telegram Web Z instead
- you need secret chats or recently added Telegram features
- you expect bug fixes or security updates - the project is explicitly deprecated

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, cryptography, chat-interface, gui
- domain: messaging-platforms, web-development, privacy, cross-platform
- platform: browser
