Just Interview #2: Roxman

For the first ever appearance, Roxman — @Major founder, entrepreneur and one of Telegram’s largest blog owners — exclusively caught up with Just News to chat about everything ⚡️

• How do you come up with the ideas for your projects?

Ideas usually stem directly from the audience’s needs. We create what people want to see, what they want to use — and what we, as a team, want to use ourselves. That’s what unites all of our projects.

• Which one of your projects do you consider as the most successful for now?

The Major App — because it gained MAJOR numbers really quickly. But we did not stop there. Our goal is to further promote Telegram’s creative potential. I have a very special project coming up next. Let’s spread the WORD about it, because its mission is to get more people involved in the education process.

• That sounds exciting. Can we already learn more about this project?

WORD is a language-learning app built into Telegram with a clean, minimalistic design. Users can choose from many courses or create their own and even earn Telegram Stars. A streak system and leaderboard keep motivation high — but without the stress. It’s simple, social, and fun.

• How is Major’s further development going so far?

Major has already evolved into a global product, launching its own side projects in various niches within the TON & Telegram ecosystem — contributing to their advance. With the latest update we brought an onchain market, where people can find all the existing NFT Gifts in one place.

• What features would you like to see in Telegram in the future?

We've always been quick to jump on Telegram's new features with our projects, showing how they can fit in naturally. For example, we were the first to roll out custom @Major verification, and it kicked off a whole trend. We also were the first to implement story sharing and among the first to add full-screen mode for games. So, we will back up whichever direction the team goes while bringing our ideas to life.

• What trends do you foresee in Telegram mini-apps?

I believe the trend should focus on practical value in projects. It’s not interesting to build something short-lived anymore — what matters is creating things that remain relevant long-term. In that way, @word has a great perspective. I’ve already received tons of positive feedback from different people. Now I'm exited to invite everyone to check it out.

• Have you considered building projects on other blockchains?

Yes, but all competitors fall short compared to TON. It’s the only blockchain deeply integrated into such a massive app.

• Do you have mentors or people who inspire you?

We work based on Pavel Durov's masterpiece and I’m grateful to consider him a mentor. Telegram is like the Father of our projects — the source of our ideas and inspiration.

• Last but not least: what advice would you share with Just News readers?

In today’s endless stream of information noise, it’s easy to get lost and overwhelmed. Filter out the unnecessary. Focus JUST on Major things.

And to everyone who is willing to learn, get ready for a big surprise! Hint: learning WORD could get you more than knowledge...
