Telegram launches blogging platform enabling users to post anonymously

Telegraph lets you post stories without requiring you to register an account or sign in through social media

Messaging platform Telegram has launched a blogging platform called Telegraph that offers fast publishing and anonymous posting.

The latest blogging tool lets you post stories without requiring you to register an account or sign in through social media.

It is perfect for bloggers who want to remain anonymous for various reasons, including fear of being targeted for their views by society or government, as all you need to is visit telegra.ph, add a title and name (you want to go with) and post it. It allows you to format the text of the story/post with Markdown. The app, which have user interface quite similar to that of Medium, also lets you embed images from your computer by clicking on the camera button. You can also embed Tweets and videos from YouTube and Vimeo.



Compared to Medium, the loading time for embeds is relatively fast, which makes it one of the lightest blogging platform ever. However, there is no comments section for each article.

Posts are shareable on social media platforms but are designed keeping Telegram’s new Instant View layout in mind. It is similar to Facebook’s Instant Articles and Google’s AMP, with a view to deliver content from around the Web within the messaging app with minimal load times.
