๐Ÿ˜Ž If I had to give one piece of advice to people in their 20s who want to build something great, it would be: โ€œNever drink alcohol.โ€ ๐Ÿธ

๐Ÿคฎ I havenโ€™t drunk alcohol in nearly 20 years, but Iโ€™ve seen many successful people ruin themselves with it. Alcohol clouds your mental clarity and intuition for days after consumption. While it might lift your mood temporarily, itโ€™s like taking out a loan โ€” youโ€™ll pay it back with interest. The short-term pleasure brings long-term misery ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿ” I know itโ€™s hard not to yield to social pressure: humans have evolved to copy the behaviors of those around them. But the habits of the majority are self-destructive โ€” most people around us drink alcohol, eat fast food, and have passive lifestyles. And thatโ€™s fine. If you want to achieve something extraordinary, however, youโ€™ll boost your chances by keeping both your mind and body healthy ๐Ÿ˜ผ

๐Ÿ‘€ Big day today โ€” Telegram has taken its first step toward becoming a video platform ๐Ÿ“บ

๐Ÿคฌ Until now, videos in channels were displayed in exactly the same format they were uploaded, often requiring users to wait and download gigabytes just to watch a short clip โ˜น๏ธ

โ–ถ๏ธ With todayโ€™s update, however, Telegram servers will compress popular videos into multiple quality options and optimize them for streaming. Now, when you watch a video, Telegram automatically selects the most suitable quality based on your connection speed โš™๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘ As a result, watching videos on Telegram is now a far smoother experience! Our October update includes more features that redefine messaging โ€” but Iโ€™ll let you fully focus on (spooky) videos this Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ

๐Ÿ’ฐ Ten days ago, a developer launched a mini app that has already generated $500,000 in revenue. He built it in just two days during the time off from his main job.

๐Ÿ–Œ Without a team or marketing budget, he single-handedly implemented everything โ€” design, concept, client-side code, and server-side code. Inspired by my own solo journey when I created VK in 2006, he tackled every element himself.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Thanks to its brilliant concept and minimalist design, his mini app went viral. For the past ten days, itโ€™s ranked in the Top 4 grossing mini apps on Telegram. This is the power of hard work, determination, and the Telegram mini app platform! #๏ธโƒฃ

๐Ÿ™ƒ This is the biggest update in the history of Mini Apps: full-screen mode, home screen shortcuts, geolocation, motion tracking, media sharing, document creation, gift sending, subscription tiers, emoji statuses โ€” and much more ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ•บ To explore some of these new features, update Telegram and check out these early examples:

Tiny Verse opens in full-screen, which looks great on desktops and tablets. Make sure to swipe and zoom to admire the 3D effects ๐Ÿ˜Š

Playdeck's task section now features an "Add to Home Screen" option โ€” and a flying Yeti that moves based on your deviceโ€™s orientation ๐Ÿ˜™

Major has added a custom loading screen and the new Major Maze mini-game, where you can guide a rolling ball by tilting your phone ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ˜ This is just the beginning โ€” all discovered within the first day of Mini Apps 2.0's launch! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
